The Ocean Cove Hotel is situated overlooking Kilkee’s famous horseshoe shaped beach and is a one minute windswept stroll from the town centre; a hive of activity with something for everyone. There are plenty of amusements to keep the kids busy for hours. To the right of the hotel is Kilkee Golf Course. There are discounted green fees for guests of the Ocean Cove.
It is a challenging links course with an idyllic setting including a spectacular 3rd hole. To the immediate left of the hotel lies Kilkee Waterworld which has a swimming pool, lazy river, flume, gushers, a slide and Jacuzzi. Kilkee Diving Centre is at the shoreline in front of the hotel which offers diving trips in the locale. The late Jacques Cousteau rated the bay as the “best diving location in Europe and among the top 5 in the world”! There is breathtaking cliff scenery at both the west and east end of Kilkee.
The Diamond Rocks and Pollock Holes are naturally evolved and retain sea water when the tides recede to form swimming pools and are well worth a visit. Kilkee is regarded as one of the safest bathing places in Ireland being protected from the full force of the Atlantic by a reef known as the 'Duggerna Rock'. There are demanding cliff walks to claim a bird’s eye view of the beauty that surrounds the charming Kilkee.
