Limerick is a riverside city and we have no beaches ourselves in County Limerick, but there are some beaches near Limerick in neighbouring counties which are not far from us.

Are there any beaches in Limerick?

Glin beach is situated 1.6 kms east of Glin village just off the N69 Glin to Limerick road. There is ample parking in the lay-by and access is good. This beach is used as a match stretch and many shore competitions have taken place here.

Is Limerick beside the sea?

Limerick is a rich and varied county. It's not a coastal county like its neighbours Clare, Cork and Kerry but enjoys the majesty of the Shannon River which flows to the west of the county on its way towards the Atlantic.
