Welcome to Loop Head, Co. Clare, Ireland
Eat
The Loop Head Peninsula, on the Wild Atlantic Way, is a great place to sample fresh seafood and local produce. Fresh oysters, mussels, crab, white fish & mackerel, organic vegetables, free range eggs and meat, homemade baked goods and jams… The Food Circle are committed to sourcing ingredients from local producers.
See
Whether you are driving, walking, cycling or pony trekking, the spectacular cliff scenery along the Peninsula’s coastal roads are breathtaking. Looking out to sea there is always the chance of seeing dolphins or whales, soaring gannets and kittiwakes or perhaps, a seal popping its head above water.
Do
There is something to offer everyone on the Loop Head Peninsula, be it walking, cycling, dolphin watching, bird watching, snorkelling in natural rock pools, relaxing in a seaweed bath, or catching your own fish for dinner! For the more adventurous, there’s windsurfing, paddle boarding, coasteering, sailing, horseback riding and plenty more exciting activities.
