It’s safe to say that there are many remarkable spots to be found in Ireland. And when it comes to the town of Lahinch, “remarkable” applies in a definitive way that dates back centuries. Lahinch is part of County Clare. It lies on Liscannor Bay and goes as far back as when Danish Vikings first roamed its hills. It grew from a small hamlet to a charming town on the Wild Atlantic Way coast that overlooks a 2-kilometer (1.2-mile) golden beach. Sport is a true highlight of Lahinch as it is often referred to at times as “the St. Andrews of Ireland”, as golf has been a mainstay here since the 1890s. The local golf course is a favorite of enthusiasts of the sport, and they have seen the influx of people coming to enjoy the local green. Surfing is similarly popular as many longboarders have come to hang ten on its offshore waves. In keeping with the spirit of the Irish, there is also a nice selection of accommodation and staycation spots in Lahinch where one can grab some rest and comfort while exploring the area. Read on about the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Lahinch, Ireland.
