White Strand, Miltown Malbay
About White Strand, Miltown Malbay
White Strand near Miltown Malbay is a sheltered Blue Flag beach on the west Clare coast, a compact curve of pale sand tucked along the shore. Lifeguarded in summer with safe, gently shelving water, it is a quiet, family-friendly spot close to the traditional music town of Miltown Malbay. Smaller and calmer than the nearby surf beaches, it is a relaxed choice for a swim or a stroll on the Wild Atlantic Way.
