11 family-friendly activities to enjoy in Munster before going back to school

Fáilte Ireland’s research found that a day at the beach was the most popular outdoor summer activity for families. It’s easy to understand why. Throw swimming togs, towels, a change of clothes, buckets and spades, suncream, sandwiches, and some money for ice cream into a bag and you’re all set for a cheap family outing

For something entirely off the beaten track, you could set sail for the Great Blasket Island off the coast of the Dingle Peninsula.

The school holidays are nearly at an end, with only two weeks left until summer is over. This means there isn’t much time for families to enjoy quality time together.

According to research conducted on behalf of Fáilte Ireland, 89% of parents believe that day trips are great for families, helping to keep children active and entertained and creating lifelong memories for everyone in the process. They are even more beneficial for working parents, with 43% reporting that they typically feel more relaxed and refreshed afterwards.
