Do you want my top 10 or something like the Trip Advisor chosen by tourists top 10?

To be fair there are decent beaches all around Ireland's coast but it depends on what you want from them? Its not likely you are going to get a tan unless you strike lucky with the odd good days we get every year. There are some great Surf beaches although as a visitor you might want somewhere that rents wet suits as well. We have a couple of Coral beaches a number of Blue Flag beaches and we have film set beaches and some of Ireland's islands have great beaches.

Tell us where you plan on going when you are here and get the best information.

I like this one. Lahinch is also nice.

Tony, are you ok with that huge storm? I saw where Lahinch had 15 foot waves yesterday and many roads are impassable.

We got away with just a gate broken by the wind, lots of roads flooded locally and all over Ireland, It could have been a lot worse, haven't heard of any fatalities. Thanks :)

Glad all is well, Tony.

Back to the beaches. There is Inch Strand on the Dingle Peninsula and some really nice beaches on Achill Island.
