Kilkee Beach, Ireland
Kilkee (Irish: Cill Chaoi, meaning Church of Chaoineadh Ita – lamentation for Ita) is a small coastal town in County Clare, Ireland. It is in the parish of Kilkee, formerly Kilfearagh. Kilkee is midway between Kilrush and Doonbeg on the N67 road. The town is popular as a seaside resort. The horseshoe bay is protected from the Atlantic Ocean by the Duggerna Reef.
During the early part of the 19th century, Kilkee was just a small fishing village but in the 1820s when a paddle steamer service from Limerick to Kilrush was launched, it began to attract visitors.[6] It has been a resort since then and was featured on the front page of the Illustrated London News as the premier bathing spot in what was then the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. As the town was more accessible to people from Limerick rather than Clare, holidaying in Kilkee became more of a Limerick custom, due to steamboats travelling daily up and down the River Shannon.[7] Gradually the town grew as wealthy merchants from Limerick wanted holiday homes by the sea, resulting in a building boom in the 1830s. As demand for lodgings in Kilkee grew, several hotels were built. Along with these, three churches were built, a Roman Catholic church in 1831, a Protestant church in 1843 and a Methodist church in 1900, reflecting the cosmopolitan feel of the town in that era.

Kilkee Beach and FloodgateIreland
Kilkee Beach has a Blue Flag status, but a river runs through the culvert & across the beach into the sea. As the council cannot control the river content, they have to block the river during the summer months to maintain the blue flag status. The solution is a 4900mm x 900mm split system barrier which blocks the culvert & a pumping system which pumps the river content out into the sea, keeping the beach dry. They will remove it again in Autumn.

The rocks formations can be seen in two ways. Firstly, on land either walking or driving from the ossified trees in Goleen bay to the preserved sand volcanoes in Ross bay. Between these points are exposed carboniferous sedimentary basin shale (over 340 million years old) that comes in amazing shapes caused by slipping, folding and other geological movements. This is why the Loophead area has become very popular for geological study and research. Bird Watching At the Bridges of Ross (approximately seven miles from the lighthouse) migrating seabirds pass each autumn on migration and the bridges provide an excellent viewing point for Shearwaters, Petrels, Terns, and Skuas.

Beautiful Sunny Day - Portmarnock Beach - Ireland
The weather was amazing and the beach was packed. Portmarnock beach in Ireland. The town is nice and the beach is even better. It was around 25c this day. =^)
Martello tower and Ireland's Eye can be seen.
Hope you enjoy the sights!!
Portmarnock (Irish: Port Mearnóg) is a small suburban village to the north of Dublin, Ireland. It is in the administrative county of Fingal.
At sea, Portmarnock could be said to border Sutton and perhaps Howth in the form of Ireland's Eye. The beach is monitored by a life guard during the summer season from early April to the start of October.
The area had been settled in Neolithic times, with a number of remains of activity in the area still evident today, such as flints and other tools having been excavated at the northern fringe of Portmarnock. Further, the remains of a ring fort are visible from the air at the south of the town. The son of Queen Maedhbh of Connaught - Maine - is also said to have been buried locally.
