Wild Atlantic Way Ireland 2014 - Connemara ecoCamping holiday: Light up your year of travel
Hit the road to Irland on the new "Wild Atlantic Way". The 1,550 mile long touring route from Donegal to West Cork. Recent Altantic storms have certainly carved this unique route into the Western landscape. A rugged new landscape is there to be explored!
Clifden eco Beach Camping & Caravanning Park is situated on the shores of the scenic 'Wild Atlantic Way' at the estuary of Streamstown Bay. Unique to the park is anecosystem called 'Machair', listed as a priority habitat in Ireland under the EU Habitats Directive. This is a highly specialized & complex sand dune habitat system that is confined globally to the north West Coast of Ireland & Scotland. It comprises a flat or gently undulating sandy plain that develops in an oceanic location with a cool, moist climate resulting in rich bio-diversity.

To date eight species of bumblebee occupy this Machair habitat, additionally the ecosystem borders the West Connacht SAC. These are marine habitats which are important for Bottlenose Dolphins that frequent these shores. Seven Natura sites are within a 5 km radius of our campsite with Natura 2000 being a European network of important ecological sites.
