Athlone is on the River Shannon.
I was looking for a seaside (by the sea) town/city, not riverside.

Ardmore is nice, but more of a village. Goat Island beach is a hidden gem up the road.

Pattaya ...but in Ireland ,maybe Rush or Skerries , not too far from Dublin when you want what a big city has to offer .
Same with Pattaya just 150 klm from Bangkok .

It's Sandycove (the Dublin one) but don't tell anyone, we don't like furriners round these parts.

Has to be the South or Wesht coast to get the full impact of Atlantic storms. The east coast is for pussies.

Kinsale
Schull
Baltimore
Dingle
Castelgregory
Lahinch
Doolin

All ^^ great spots in Cork, Kerry and Clare.
