<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhere are the <\/b>B<\/b>est <\/b>B<\/b>eaches in Ireland?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A diverse and rich history has shaped Ireland into the country we know today. Presently the nation is still enjoying an economic boom with healthy growth numbers being reported in employment and retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has also been a substantial increase in tourism, with Ireland actively targeting and encouraging visitors from Britain, America, and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year approximately 9 million visitors make their way to the Emerald Isle to enjoy their vacation, and tourism is currently one of the biggest contributors to the Irish economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visitors to Ireland flock to the country by air and sea to experience the delights, history and rich tradition that Ireland has to share. Popular destinations include<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Killkenny<\/li>
- Dublin,<\/li>
- Killarney,<\/li>
- Galway Bay,<\/li>
- County Cork.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
There are castles, stately homes, imposing cliffs, national parks, mountain and of course the beaches<\/b>. Ireland is home to one of the longest coastal tourist routes\u2013 The Wild Atlantic Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Famous worldwide and covering over 1550 miles of coastline from north to south on the western side of Ireland, this path weaves its way through 6 regions of Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It gives the opportunity to view spectacular scenery along the way and passes historic towns and villages, dramatic cliffs, lighthouses, national parks, and festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs the country of Ireland is, well, an island, the coastline runs continuously around the entire country. However, the reported measurement of the actual length varies greatly with reports of different measurement’s being assigned by multiple sources. Different agencies have reported wildly different numbers, recording distances from 1448 km (900 miles) to a whopping 6347 km (3943 miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is there such a large variation? The basic explanation in layman’s terms is that Ireland’s coastline is \u2018fractal\u2019 and therefore it depends on the measurement system used to report the numbers, accounting for the discrepancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s all a bit technical but it does explain why there are such vast reported differences in the overall distances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No matter what the actual length is off the coastline of Ireland, it doesn\u2019t much matter when it comes to the beauty of the country and its coastal areas. As far as landscape and scenery go Ireland is virtually unsurpassed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a good number of beaches that simply have to be experienced by the visitor. From north to south, east to west, there are beaches, peninsulas, dramatic cliffs, and rocky coastlines that are undoubtedly some of the most spectacular and breathtaking you will ever see on your travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt is worth noting that in 2018 Ireland received a record number of the much-coveted Blue Flag Awards for its beaches. The standard of the beaches is high all across the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Blue Flag award is recognized worldwide and assures visitors and tourists of clean, safe, and accessible beaches that are of the highest standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
