With that in mind, here are seven amazing staycation locations for outdoor lovers.
Waterford
Waterford City is amazing, but if you're in the area for some outdoor fun, breathtaking sights and unforgettable experiences, there is also the Waterford Greenway.
Cumshingaun Lake is perhaps one of the most insta-worthy spots in Ireland. And don't forget to check out the Copper Coast!

Killarney, Kerry
Between the breathtaking views along this part of the Wild Atlantic Way and the fabulous walks in Killarney National Park, there is no shortage of untouched nature to soak in here.
Slieve League, Donegal
Donegal is a world of its own, with some of the most dramatically rugged and insanely beautiful landscapes in Ireland and dare I say it, around the world. Slieve League is the ultimate proof of that. Standing atop these cliffs gives you a sense that you are on some far-off remote island that has never been visited before.
West Cork
Cork, in general, is an absolutely glorious county and the craic in Cork City is great. But perhaps the best thing about the kingdom is West Cork, with its scenic coastline shaped by the mighty Atlantic waves and outdoor activities such as hikes along Mizen Head and Sheep's Head, moonlight kayaking and Schull Sea Safari, to name just a few.
County Clare
I mean, do we need to explain this one? You have the infamous Cliffs of Moher, The Burren and Aillwee Caves. Grab your adventure pack, take to the road and get ready for the most magnificent scenes in this unique corner of the world. Kilkee Cliff is also definitely worth a visit.
Wexford
Naturally, Wexford is a popular spot for Dubs on staycation. With a group of mates, it's absolutely stellar, with the array of gorgeous beaches for you guys to spend your days. Plus, there is Hook Lighthouse which will have your insta game on fire, sea cave kayaking, Cahore Cliff Walk, Saltee Islands and so much more.
Carrick-On-Shannon
Ready to take to the water? Carrick-On-Shannon offers the opportunity to cruise down Ireland's longest river in your very own rented boat. Can you imagine the CRAIC you and your mates would have? Staying on a boat for a few days is by far one of the best experiences in this area, but there is also the Leitrim Surf Company who will help you get your fix of adrenaline.
So, what are you waiting for? We hope this has inspired you guys to experience the spontaneous adventures and glorious adrenaline rushes we have all been missing this past year.
