Quilty Beach
About Quilty Beach
Quilty is a Green Coast beach in west Clare, a quiet stretch of sand and shore beside the fishing village, with views to the islands and the famous Quilty church built by grateful French sailors. Lifeguarded in summer with safe swimming, it is a peaceful, traditional beach popular with locals and a good base for watersports. A relaxed, unspoilt spot on the Wild Atlantic Way close to neighbouring Seafield.
