A fine market town in north west Connemara... Stop at Walshes coffee shop during the day or Kings in the evening. If it is a sunny afternoon then you must sit outside Kings and have a pint and watch the world go by.

Famous for a great golf course and a fine surfing beach right in the middle of town. You can hire boards and wetsuits by the hour at the beach.

People come to Doolin for the view, the wind, the music, the pubs and the maddest ferry to the Aran Islands. ( Think open boat, mid Atlantic)
