Kilkee Rentals
Small coastal town in County Clare, Ireland , it is located midway between Kilrush and Doonbeg on the N67 road. The town, one of the most famous resorts in Ireland , is particularly popular as a seaside resort with people from Limerick City. It has been a resort since the early 19th century when it was featured on the front page of the Illustrated London News as the premier bathing spot in what was then the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland . The town retains some of its 19th century Victorian feel, and also features many modern amenities. The horseshoe bay is protected from the Atlantic Ocean weather by the Duggerna Reef and is one of the safest bathing spots in Europe . Kilkee has regularly been awarded the Blue Flag by the European Commission. Kilkee has seen many famous guests through the years including members of the British and Austro-Hungarian royal families, The Beatles, Che Guevara, Charlotte Brontë (who spent part of her honeymoon in the town) and actor Richard Harris who owned a house in the town. In 2006, a statue of Richard Harris was unveiled in Kilkee by actor Russell Crowe who spoke very highly of the town saying it had some of the best public walks in the world. Summer holidays in 1950s Kilkee are evocatively described in Homan Potterton's memoir, Rathcormick (2001).
In 2007, Kilkee hosted its first ever Cois Fharraige. The festival was held over 3 days from September 7 - 9 and consisted of live music and water sport events including a surf competition. Although Cois Fharraige was a new event it managed to attract some well-known bands such as Republic of Loose, Fun Lovin Criminals, The Blizzards, Ham Sandwich, Ocean Colour Scene and Delorentos
