About Spanish Point

Spanish Point sits about 20 km south of Lahinch on the Clare coast, just north of Miltown Malbay. It's a long west-facing strand with multiple peaks on the beach, and a reef break at the south end (sometimes called the Spanish Point Reef) that comes alive on bigger groundswells.

The break shares Lahinch's swell window - W to NW with E offshore - but is consistently less crowded. On a day with everyone in Lahinch, Spanish Point often gives you the same wave with half the crew. Several surf schools operate from town.
