Doughmore – Doonbeg beach , Co Clare Ireland is one of the favourite playgrounds for surfers and Kiters. One of the last untouched beaches on the west coast of Ireland, it stretches a near 3km of rare soft golden sand and natural Dunes. The perfect eco-system.

From a kiting perspective, I hope you enjoy the short video. Most of the footage was captured on from Doonbeg Beach

We found a very different paradise.
