Fanore (Irish: Fánóir, Fán Óir, meaning 'the golden slope') is a small village in County Clare, on the west coast of Ireland.

[1] The area was officially classified as part of the West Clare Gaeltacht, an Irish-speaking community, until 1956.

Lying on the road between Ballyvaughan and Doolin, Fanore has an extensive sandy beach and sand dunes (known as the "Rabbit Warren") around the mouth of the Caher River.

[3] The village is very popular with walkers, surfers, rock climbers (being 6 km north of Ailladie - Ballyreen Point), tourists and is particularly interesting to botanists, owing to its location on the edge of the Burren – renowned for its unique flora and fauna.

Bus Éireann route number 350 links Fanore to several locations: Ennis, Ennistymon, Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, Lisdoonvarna, Kinvara and Galway.
