You’ve decided to take a holiday in Ireland this year, but how do you choose the best self-catering accommodation for your needs? It’s well worth opting for a property that is within walking distance of a beach: there is nothing like the sea air off the coast of Ireland. The fresh, rugged beauty of Irish beaches will take your breath away, and provide a stunning backdrop for a fantastic holiday.

Choosing a holiday home in Ireland within walking distance of a beach means that you can ditch the car and really embrace the natural beauty of your surroundings. Your daily traffic filled commute will seem like a distant memory as you amble along the path from your holiday cottage to the nearest beach.

A beach-side break in Ireland is perfect for families. Return to the best of holidays in days gone by and pack a picnic at your holiday home before setting off on a walk to the beach. Make sandcastles and moats, and go fishing in the rock pools. Take little ones paddling along the shore, and encourage older children to dive in for a swim. When the day is over, it’s easy to get back to your holiday house as it is so close to the beach – and this is especially important when small children are getting tired, and mum and dad would like to get everyone to bed before indulging in a glass of wine!

Many Irish holiday rentals are dog friendly, which is fantastic for those of you who can’t imagine a break without your best friend. If you choose a holiday home within walking distance of a beach, your precious pooch will be in heaven racing along in the sand and swimming in the sea. The daily walk with your pet will be an absolute pleasure during your holiday if you are situated in a gorgeous Irish coastal setting.

Are you keen to try water sports? Many Irish beaches are the perfect site for trying your hand at surfing, water-skiing, diving and much more. If you choose a holiday home that is in walking distance of a beach, you’ll be perfectly placed to catch the best of the surf whenever it suits you.

Go for a self-catering property near the beach in Ireland for a truly magical break that will allow you to really escape the pressures of real life: what are you waiting for?
