Kilrush is situated at the mouth of the River Shannon looking out onto the Atlantic Ocean.  Kilrush Creek Marina welcomes yachts from all over the world.  Deep sea angling and onshore fishing can be arranged from the Marina.  The Shannon Estuary is home to Ireland’s only known resident population of Bottlenosed Dolphins.  Taking a boat trip from Kilrush offers you a unique oppurtunity to observe these wonderful animals in their natural habitat.

Boat trips to the ancient monastic site of Scattery Island are also available.  One can play parkland golf in Kilrush or on the challenging links courses at Doonbeg, Lahinch or Ballybunion.  There are beautiful clean beaches within a short distance and very pleasant woodland and coastal walks.  Crotty’s is situated right in the centre of picturesque Kilrush.  It is a great all-rounder, with plenty of real warmth and character.   Stay at Crotty’s and enjoy traditional music, good food and the beauty that is West Clare.
