Why Ireland?

With unparalleled spots like Brandon Bay, Clew Bay, Portrush, and Portstewart, and over 5600 km of pristine coastline, temperate conditions, masses of lakes, rivers and waterways, Ireland is ripe for a waterworld discovery. 

What’s out there? 

Local and international surfers take to the waves around the island along a coastline that's big on thrills with exhilarating swells and pristine beaches. Meanwhile, windsurfers adore the steady winds and countless safe, clean beaches that make Ireland a number one destination.  

There are thousands of kilometres of coastline waiting to be discovered by the intrepid scuba diver with sheltered harbours for the beginner, and steep rocky cliff faces for the more experienced diver. Water-skiers and wake boarders can also enjoy great facilities around the country.  

Canoeists will thrive on the passion the Irish have for canoeing, and you’ll be spoiled for choice with whitewater, downhill, slalom, surfing and sprint canoeing.  

Where better to take to the seas than in a country with an impeccable sailing heritage and a coastline that will rouse your spirits and inspire your soul?
