About Spanish Point
Spanish Point is a small coastal locality on County Clare’s Atlantic shore, immediately south of Miltown Malbay and close to Quilty and Mullagh. It is best known for its broad sandy beach, exposed seafront and strong holiday character, while remaining a year-round rural community with scattered homes, farmland and nearby village services. The coastline suits swimming, surfing, walking and watching dramatic Atlantic sunsets, although conditions can be changeable and exposed. St Joseph’s Secondary School is located in Spanish Point, with primary and further schooling available in nearby Miltown Malbay and surrounding villages. There is no railway station in the locality, so residents generally rely on cars and regional buses for commuting, with Ennis and Kilrush the main larger service centres; EV charging facilities are available locally. Everyday shopping, cafés, pubs and restaurants are concentrated in Spanish Point, Miltown Malbay and nearby coastal villages, with wider retail and healthcare provision in Ennis. Notable attractions and amenities include Spanish Point Beach, the Armada Hotel and the historic Spanish Point area, while Lahinch and the wider Loop Head and Burren regions provide additional leisure and day-trip options.
