If you are of the camping and caravaning breed then you'll be happy to know there is a camp site right beside the beach, we just drove down for the day but the site looked clean and well catered for. Bring a packed lunch, dont, what ever you do, go to the Park Inn for so much as a glass of water!

Being from California, I am spoiled with always having a beach nearby. But Ireland only has beaches…read morein certain parts of the country. They don't always have a beach nearby. I was excited to stop at this beach! An Irish beach, how cool is that?! It is pretty basic really. Nothing out of sorts for a beach. But something about it not being as accessible to Irish people, made this seem more important of a place to document. I did see someone with a surf board heading down to the beach. Hang loose bro! lol

If you're ever on the west coast of Ireland (probably to see the Cliffs of Moher), Lahinch Beach…read more(and town) is a nice place to visit. The views are great and the sand looks nice to park a chair and just chill.

Great beach to visit. It is large with a rocky back for kids to climb and the sands are clean and…read morewell kept. There is a great little surfside community full of cafes and restaurants which is great for families. The promenade walk was also really pleasant. This is a great stop for those staying around Co. Clare.

Five stars is possibly generous, but even if the incredible experience is made by the company as…read moremuch as the location, it feels impossible not to give Lahinch Beach a full five stars. The beach itself is vast, it has great waves for surfing, and it is entirely gorgeous. The cliffs either side ensconce the bay, making it feel like a private slice of ocean, even though it's not small. The practicalities: There are fantastic coast guards to make sure you don't get washed out by the tide (like we nearly did). The beach is barely a few minutes from all manner of little shops, bars, and eateries (we got fish and chips and sat on the beach). You can hire surfing equipment and even get lessons (next time). It's clean, it's beautiful, and it's absolutely worth the drive from Dublin. Just watch out for the weever fish -- they'll give you quite a sting, if you stand one them!

Absolutely amazing place - I have been visiting Achill for years and didn't realise it existed -…read morethe road to get there is a bit hairy (think sheer cliffs and very small roads), it is worth the trip at any cost (except actually falling over the a fore mentioned cliffs... it's probably not worth that). There is a small van there, pretty much all the time - it sells sweets, hot-dogs and coffee, to find such a facility in the wild is unexpected and brilliant and almost guarantees you will buy a hot dog, even if you don't want one, just because it is there!

It was a fine summer day and we'd driven from Bangor Erris through the most stunning scenery…read moreimaginable on some of the worst narrow roads imaginable. We crossed the Michael Davitt bridge onto Achill island and drove past a mobile Ulster bank van. We had Keel as our destination as we negotiated the narrow roads and meandering sheep who were everywhere and who see tourists as an inconvenience. The entire experience was a tad spooky as despite being a fine day in early summer the entire island was shrouded in mist the whole time we were there and we were there about three hours. We chose Keel as my wife used to holiday here as a child. Her family arrived with a tent to a caravan park and pitched up 15 yards from the wild Atlantic. Travelling west from here the next land is the USA. We got to Keel and the caravan park and we walked along the beach with the mighty blue/green Atlantic Ocean roaring at us as my wife relived fond memories of a stark, haunting very beautiful wilderness. Hard to believe that this stark, rugged island has been continuously inhabited from 4,000 years BC. Wow now that's impressive.

They were able to accommodate us with a same day reservation. Owner (who lived on the property) was…read morevery nice and helpful. He gave us recommendations for dinner in Clifden which was only 10 minutes away, a quick easy drive. The property itself is tucked behind a small farm alongside the sea. This made the views great. There was a small cove that had calmer water that you can swim in. My husband and I do cold water exposure so we jumped in (mid March) and followed with a hot shower. (Pay 1 euro per 3 mins) They also had a dump station for toilets and grey water. Fresh drinking water available too! I'd recommend!

I presume she was being charitable as she has looked over at my family's area which looks like a bunch of hobos have somehow managed to get by security and set up camp. This was our first attempt at living in the great outdoors - so we decided to go for the gentle introduction, with toilets, showers and a pool table close enough for comfort. The camp also offers laundry and a kitchen to the guests which was a great thing to know (though we didn't use them in the end). Overall facilities were brilliant and we were less than 5 mins walk from Keel beach - in good weather it was nothing short of spectacular. Cost for 2 adults, one child, car and dog was 22 Euro a night which seemed reasonable. Just as I turned the pork chops over on the grill I was visited by a familiar stranger "Hello! Have we reached that time again?" "We have" confirmed Bjorn.. "900 reviews, overall not bad but your spelling is definitely getting worse" "I have always believed in quantity over quality" I confirmed "your chops are burning" "you mean I talk a lot?" "no, your chops are really burning".. I look down and see my bbq in flames. We sit back, Bjorn and I, and watch as the dinner goes up in smoke. __________________ Previous Bjorn reviews: 500: http://www.yelp.ie/biz/residence-dublin?hrid=HXGfO0v6VQfcjhda9qt_ww#src:self 700: http://www.yelp.ie/biz/next-door-off-licence-dublin?hrid=RHOFRhIvh8EIPebmfdlXdQ 800: http://www.yelp.ie/biz/colosseo-roma?hrid=s2xjv59eoUR7mpkyj5LAkw

Add to that a very cost effective Internet and nearly two weeks later we are still here. The campground staff are very friendly and welcoming.

At first I thought they owned the place, but no - just humble employees - they work hard at making camping perfect. Good job - we will be back. Now if only it was open all year round.... Giggle
