Clare lies between Galway and Kerry on the west coast of Ireland, close to the Burren , the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. The closest airport is Shannon , thirty miles away, which is an international airport. Allow one hour for the journey because of the roads. Allow four and a half to five hours if you are coming from Dublin Airport. Cillstifiann has wondeful sea views from each floor and is just around the corner from the pubs, shops, restaurants and Catholic church.

Golf: Lahinch is often referred to as the St. Andrews of Ireland and is very much a golfing village. There are two 18 golf courses, one of them the famous Championship Course. If you're not a serious golfer there is a great 18 hole Links Pitch and Putt or Par Three course just a mile away, on the road to the Cliffs of Moher. Click on these links (no pun intended), to read more about Lahinch and the Golf Club. The Greg Norman designed course at Doonbeg is just 12 miles away.

Surfing:People don't usually think of Ireland and surfing in the same breath but Lahinch has some of the best surf in Ireland. The village has three busy surf schools that cater for all skill levels and ages http://www.lahinchsurfschool.com/

You can check out the surf cam every day at www.oceanscene.ie

For those rainy or stormy days there is a 25 meter indoor pool, aquarium and Sammy Shark Playzone at Sea World. They also have a sauna and jacuzzi and are about to open a gym.
