Location and Brief Description:
The little Irish-speaking village of Carrigaholt is very prettily situated on a fine Bay at the mouth of the river Shannon - 3 mls. E. of Cross village, 6 mls. N.-E. of Kilbaha and 7 mls. S.-W. of Kilkee. The beauty of the surroundings is much enchanced by the picturesque situation of the castle - overlooking the lordly River and raising its ivied battlements above the rook-crowded trees. The village affords reasonably good accommodation and has several pubs and groceries, but it is to be regretted that there are many unsightly buildings - roofless etc. - which create a very bad impression to visitors, and therefore ought to be levelled.

Description of beach (? Length, sandy, shingle, safe, currents, &c.):
The Bay of Carrigaholt fronting the village is mostly shingle, with an occasional small sandy stretch. Half-way between the village and the Irish college, there is a sandy beach of about 200 yds. in length - which is the most popular bathing place. Bathing is very safe and currents are very far out.

Public right of way to beach or swimming places? Yes - to piers off the village.
