Location and Brief Description:

Lahinch, 18 miles north-west of Ennis (capital of Clare) and 5 miles south-east of the Cliffs of Moher, on Liscannor Bay is a most attractive seaside resort. Famous for its 18 hole Golf Course and long stretch of silver strand admirably suited for bathing. An attractive feature is the great heights to which the spring and ordinary tides rise, washing the 400 yds. promenade and those daring ones who once too often venture to the front. Excellent hotel accommodation available.

Description of beach (? Length, sandy, shingle, safe, currents, &c.): From the eastern end of the promenade to O’Briens Bridge about 1500 yards stretches a beautiful golden beach of sand. When the tide is fully out, there is about a half-mile from the sea verge to the promenade and rocks. Bathing is safe here except during a rough sea when a current about 50 yds out drifting in an easterly and outward direction makes it dangerous for bathers.
