Spanish Point owes its name to the dramatic demise of the Spanish Armada in 1588, when ships were wrecked on the unforgiving cliffs and hundreds of sailors were buried near the coast. From the 19th century onwards, the place flourished as a chic Victorian seaside resort, with stately villas and the historic Atlantic Hotel bearing witness to a rich tourist past. Today, Spanish Point combines these deep historical roots with its status as one of the most iconic surf and holiday destinations on the Wild Atlantic Way.
