Spanish Point Beach
For current information on bathing water quality and related information, please refer to www.beaches.ie.
Spanish Point lies to the west of Milltown Malbay on the road from Quilty to Lahinch. It is a sandy beach, the long spine of rocks which stick out into the sea and the rocky shoreline at the northern end of the strand are very interesting places to observe a variety of plants and animals.
Please bring your litter home at the end of your visit to Spanish Point.
Under the Litter Pollution Acts 1997-2003, dog-owners are required to clean up after their animals if it fouls in a public place such as public roads, footpaths, parks and beaches. Failure to do so can result in an on-the-spot fine of €150.
Beach bye-laws are in place with horse riding and dogs prohibited between 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. during the summer season.
Motorised watercraft, surfing and the use of canoes and kayaks is prohibited in close proximity to swimmers.
