Surfing made personal on
Achill’s most welcoming beach.

Keel Beach is the perfect place to start your surf journey. Its long stretch of sand, steady Atlantic waves, and backdrop of rugged cliffs make it a favourite spot for learners and seasoned surfers alike. At Soundwave, we keep things simple: small groups, quality equipment, and instructors who know these waters better than anyone. Whether you’re standing on a board for the first time or chasing bigger waves, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
