Ballyvaughan tourist information

Ballyvaughan is a small harbour village in County Clare, Ireland. It is located on the south shores of Galway Bay, in the northwest corner of The Burren, an area of great rocky expanse, considered by many to be a unique landscape.

Ballyvaughan is a busy village with many pubs, restaurants, shops, B&Bs and other amenities including the new pier and slipway, constructed in 2006, which has opened up the area to boating, fishing, scuba diving and other maritime activities. Ballyvaughan is also home to the Burren College of Art. Ballyvaughan has been tagged Ireland's 'Gold Coast' as a result of the huge boom in property prices in the area. Demand for holiday homes had seen the average house price in the town rise from €45,000 in 1995 to a top of €480,000 in 2005.

Ballyvaughan is the home town of bassist and guitarist Daithí Ó Drónaí and the writer Sarah Poyntz.
