Kilkee
offers quite a few natural amenities around its horseshoe-shaped bay. The safe sheltered sandy beach is protected by Duggerna Reef, which is a natural wonder itself with some large and small rock pools full of marine life. Breathtaking cliff walks offer splendid scenery.

Loop Head Peninsula
The Loop Head Peninsula is bordered by the Atlantic ocean on one side offering fantastic cliff scenery with panoramic views, and the Shannon Estuary on the other side, with plenty of quiet beauty spots to pause and relax. The Loop Head Drive Route is part of the Wild Atlantic Way and begins in Kilkee, leading along the spectacular, rugged coastline to Loop Head Lighthouse. As well as breath taking cliff walks with views on wild scenery, ruined promontory forts and early oratories there are many more sights not to miss, a natural bridge (Bridges of Ross), the Moneen Church with its 'Little Ark', a wooden mobile hut, which once served as a church in earlier times, as well as a number of rare birds, whales, dolphins and seals.
