about Foynes

Foynes (Irish: An Faing) is a small town and major port in County Limerick, in the Midwest of Ireland, located at the edge of hilly land. Situated by the estuary of the River Shannon, it is noteworthy as being the last port of call on the east of the Atlantic Ocean during the early years of aviation when flying boats frequented the area. This all changed with the construction of Shannon Airport, across the river on flat bogland.

One of Foynes' main claims to fame is the invention there of Irish Coffee. This came about, it is said, in order to alleviate the suffering of cold and wet passengers during its aviation past, in the 1930s and 1940s. The Foynes Flying Boat Museum contains much memoribilia from the era, and includes the original radio and weather room, along with its equipment.

Nearby places include Adare, a famous heritage town, and the city of Limerick. The main gateway to the region is Shannon Airport. Foynes is located on the "coast road" to County Kerry.
