Getting to Lahinch

oxygen_old

Hey, I had agreed with a mate to head to Lahinch for the weekend surfing. However, my car just broke down, can anyone advise how to get to lahinch on public transport? Is that even possible? the internet's coming up with zilch.

Im leaving Friday, after work, Im taking a half day. Thanks

Getting to Lahinch from where?

Bus Eireann serves Ennistymon, Doolin and Lisdoonvarna. I think starting from Ennis and/or Limerick. Check their website for details.

From there you have to use your thumb or a taxi, I'm afraid.

On Bus Eireann if you look for the buses going to doolin - a couple a day each way. These go through Lahinch

Brillian stuff, thanks alot, except for the boards of public transport one, I dont get that.

Im coming from Dublin, so those bus time tables are pretty handy, I can get a train straight from Dublin to Ennis so, well changing a couple of times. Ill give the Ennis station a ring, do you know do they come back from Lahinch as well?

There's a couple of direct trains from Dublin to Ennis, so it shouldn't be much trouble for you, they you just reverse your journey.

I think they are talking about your surf board, but I know a couple of surfers that say that the bus drivers from Ennis to Lahinch are fantastic with their boards and they always look after them very well

Ah right, the shame for me, Im going down for newbie lessons, don’t have own board or suit

There's some great schools back there, you'll have a ball.
