Parking and arrival

The car park is across the road from the Visitor Centre. Drive up to the admission pod, show your ticket and you get a site pass. There are 8 disabled bays in the main car park and 5 in the coach area. The site has no EV chargers; the nearest are in Lahinch, Ennistymon and at Hotel Doolin.

Directions and bus times are on the getting there page. The quietest hours and weather by month are on the best time page. For a walk beyond the paved paths, read the cliff walk page first. If you’d rather not drive, the Dublin tours and Galway tours bring you to the gate.
