Doonbeg Pier

Doonbeg Pier beside Doonmore Castle is a 70m long concrete structure used for fishing boats and pleasure craft including jet skis as well as the traditional currach boats.

The initial 35m pier was constructed for Clare County Council in1995 as Phase 1.  In Phase 2 it extended a further 35m to approximately 1.2m below lowest tidal level founded on bedrock.  The adjacent seabed was dredged down to rock level in order to facilitate larger trawlers accessing the pier.
