The town has a wide horseshoe shaped sandy beach, and when the local pollution problem gets sorted, it will be a fine safe amenity. To the south, in the flat rocks, are a number of natural swimming pools, known locally as 'Pollock Holes' because of the fish that are caught there. These are filled with fresh sea-water at every tide (as a result there is excellent snorkeling here) , and are ideal for children and uncertain swimmers. Kilkee has some of the best diving in Ireland, with an active diving club.
There are excellent cliff-walks with stunning scenery only moments from the town centre just waiting to be explored.
There is a small indoor pool, which can be noisy as it is popular with small children, with a basic and reasonably-priced cafe-type eatery, just off the beach. There is good car-parking facilities.
