    Doolin is a small village but has good music pubs, Lahinch is a dump as is Ennis, try Miltown Malbay or Spanish Point especially if you want to be on the coast

    Miltown - Whitestrand, has nice coastal walk along cliffs. short <1hr

    One can walk from Doolin to Cliffs of Moher as well - think there is shuttle buses back for approx. €5. long > 3-4 hrs.

    Lahinch - beech + Clahane just north of Liscannor is quite nice also

    Ennis full of nice restaurants - Knoxs + McHughs to name a few.

    Worth checking out events in the area before travel.

    Kilkee has a fabulous beach and cliff walks. Town is not great though.

    Ennis has so many great places to eat and there is a few things around for kids, swimming, bowling, play pits, parks, woodland walks etc. Good place to stay if your going on day trips and have the convenience of everything in the town then when ye come back.

    Ennis has increased in anti social activity lately but no where near other large towns in the country. I wouldn't call it a dump compared to the comment above.. Grew up there and moved back here last year.

    I wouldn’t call Milltown or Spanish point lively
    Then again I wouldn’t call lahinch or Ennis a dump .
    If it was me I think I would try lahinch for a couple of nights
    5 or 6 pubs , couple of restaurants and a nice beach .

    I would not forget the East side of Clare ...... such as Killaloe and other villages along the Shannon River.
