Percy French the songwriter wrote "At Lahinch the sea shines like a jewel", and its name conjures up memories of carefree holidays by the sea.

Although the village began to develop in the 18th century the permanent population is only 500.

Yet this small friendly holiday centre and golfing mecca is world famous. It nestles at the head of Liscannor Bay beside a 2 km long beach of golden sands. It is ideal for bathing and swimming and many water sports.

The old Irish name for Lahinch was Leacht Ui Chonchuir - the tomb of O'Connor - the chieftain of an old local Celtic clan, who according to tradition is buried here.

It has two 18 hole golf courses. The renowned championship course celebrated in 1992 its foundation 100 years ago. The bridge, 7km from the village on the Liscannor and Cliffs of Moher road was built 150 years ago. It is still known as the new bridge!

Even though it is intimate and unspoilt , Lahinch has a whole range of modern amenities and services. In holiday season the whole place is alive with music and dance.

It is an ideal centre from which to explore North Clare, including the Burren, one of the world's most unique landscapes.
