Celtic Surf School - Spanish Point

Celtic Surf School is based at Spanish Point, a long sandy beach in West County Clare on Ireland’s Atlantic coast. The beach sits within the sheltered, horseshoe-shaped Mal Bay, a short drive from the village of Miltown Malbay and roughly ten minutes from Lahinch. Spanish Point holds Blue Flag status and is a designated discovery point on the Wild Atlantic Way, making it a well-suited spot for learning to surf in a family-friendly setting.

The school runs lessons for all levels, from complete beginners to those looking to improve, taught by local instructors. Alongside group and private lessons, it offers surf camps for children and teenagers, and hires out surfboards and wetsuits for anyone who wants to head out on their own. Group bookings, family rates and package options are also available.

The beach car park where the school is based has free parking, along with public toilets, showers and picnic areas, and there are cafés and hotels nearby. Whether you are trying surfing for the first time or returning for another session, Celtic Surf School provides an accessible introduction to the waves of the Clare coast.
