And don't think that we forgot about the kiddies, after all, you as a parent need a break too, even if it is from your own brood!

West Clare offer a variety of entertainmant for the young bunch, anything from Game Arcades, Movies, Pitch and Putt -for the Up and Coming Tigers- to Day-to-Day activity centres on the beach.

There are game arcades to keep the kids well occupied and the bulge in your pocket in decreasing by the minute, but don't knock it too soon, you might see some 'big' kids in there more often than you think.

With just about every town in West Clare sporting a Pitch and Putt, open to the public, and golf clubs to rent, a family round of it is definitly on the cards. And who knows, the next Tiger Woods can be born in just one afternoon of family fun.

During summer, there are daily activity centres run on most beaches, creating a safe, fun and well supervised environment for your child to enjoy the sea, sun and surf.

Oh, and don't forget, there are some movie cinema's as well, in case your young one should start suffering from withdrawal symptoms from the Western World.
