Kilkee, one of Ireland's premier tourist centres, is a romantic and festive holiday resort. People flock to this charming seaside town each year. Kilkee is situated on the Atlantic coast of County Clare facing a semi-circular sweep of sand, one mile in length, which slopes very gently into the bay. Favoured by the warmth of the Gulf Stream and protected from the might of the Atlantic by a reef across the mouth of the bay, Kilkee has a reputation as the safest bathing place in Ireland, and the beach has been awarded the 'Blue Flag' by the European Community in recognition of its clear water. The town boasts a lively nightlife.

The lake town of Killaloe is most pleasantly and picturesquely sited at the south-west tip of Lough Derg. Here the visitor finds a town of great antiquity married to all the pleasures of water-based activities. Fishing, cruising, boating, sailing, swimming, wind-sailing and water-skiing are all well catered for, and are especially geared towards the visitor. And what a backdrop the Bernagh mountains provide. Killaloe - Cill Dalu till bears its name. Under the great king of Thomond, the O'Briens, it flourished as one of the most powerful religious and political centres of early mediaeval times. St. Flannan's late 12th Century cathedral with its older exquisite Romanesque doorway (restored in 1887), and the two oratories bear ample testimony to this. Also in the Kincora, on the highest ground at Killaloe, was the royal settlement of Brian Boru and the other O'Brien kings, but no trace remains of any building there. A little further on is the lakeside recreation area of Ballycuggeran. Across the 13 arch bridge on he Tipperary side of the river is Ballina, nestling under the Arra mountains. Together the twin towns compliment one another and make an ideal grouping to interest all visitors - Heritage alive in a bustling setting.
