Fanore (Fán Óir, "the golden slope", in Irish) is a small village on the edge of the Burren, Co. Clare on the west coast of Ireland.
 

Fanore is renowned for its extensive sandy beach. The village is very popular with walkers, rock climbers, potholers, surfers, tourists and is particularly interesting to botanists, owing to its location on the edge of the Burren – renowned for its unique flora and fauna.

It has a pub, a post office/shop, and two restaurants, as well as a surfing school near the beach.
 

Fanore has appeared many times on Irish television: in particular, the Father Ted series often featured scenes filmed in Fanore and its surrounding villages.
