Hiking

Park your car at Loop Head Lighthouse and enjoy the panoramic view. On a nice day you can see as far as the Cliffs of Moher. The sight of the rugged cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean crashing incessantly and with great force against the coast here make Loop Head one of the most beautiful places in all of Ireland. Incidentally, the Irish Times saw it the same way in 2013 and named the place the "Best Place to Holiday in Ireland".
Even though Loop Head is remote, it's still worth a visit, if not for that very reason.

Hiking

A place to stay with a wonderful panorama. The lighthouse located there can be visited. We recommend a walk along the steep coast.

Cycling

At the very tip of the peninsula stands the iconic Loop Head Lighthouse, surrounded by sheer cliffs over 60 metres high. This is where the mighty River Shannon finally merges with the untamed Atlantic Ocean. As you walk the dizzying cliff paths, you're likely to spot dolphins, whales, or rare seabirds. The whitewashed tower and sweeping vistas make this one of the most dramatic and photogenic stops on the Wild Atlantic Way.
