They are located on the southwest coast of Ireland near the towns Doolin (north of the cliffs) and Liscannor (south of the cliffs). In many places they protrude almost vertically from the Atlantic Ocean and extend over 8 km. At the south end, the Hag's Head, they have a height of approx. 120 m, north of the O'Brien's Tower they even reach 214 m.
- Cliffs of Kilkee. The Cliffs of Kilkee are less spectacular, but not as crowded as the Cliffs of Moher. They are southwest of Kilkee and are freely accessible (small, free parking lot).
