This surf camp will take place in Lahinch, Ireland. Lahinch is a small rural town sheltered from the wild Atlantic storms at the end of Liscannor Bay in County Clare. Surfing has become increasingly popular along the two-kilometer stretch of golden sand over the past decade or so, giving life to the growing local surf culture. The main street has a host of fantastic pubs with a friendly atmosphere, indulged upon by locals and visitors alike. Kenny's Bar is the favorite haunt with live music seven nights a week in summer and arguably the best Guinness in town.

Only 10 kilometers away over the hill, at the foot of the cliffs of Moher, the port town of Doolin offers passage to the miniature and timeless land of the Aran Islands, where life moves at its own pace and Irish is still spoken among the local folk. Inland, the scenery turns into a sparsely vegetated but beautiful land of limestone rock, craggy cliffs, and deep caves. In the Burren, you can walk along the natural pavement of karst rock and see signs of its ancient beginnings 300 million years ago as a tropical seabed, before happening upon a portal tomb like Poulnabrone, a burial site for the ancient neolithic Irish hunter-gatherers.
