A kid and dog friendly place, the Wickaninnish has welcome packages for the dogs on arrival, they have dog wash stations complete with towels and hose to dry your pooch off after a day on the beach.
The resort has 2 cars on site, which are available for hire, as well as 25 bikes. Rooms are complete with rain jackets and wellingtons, for those stormy days.
There is no shortage of things to do while at the Wickaninnish. Hire a surf instructor for the day, enjoy a kayak on the ocean, or hike in the forest.
