Coosan (Irish: Cuasán, meaning 'cavern" or "grotto')[1] is a townland and suburb north of Athlone, County Westmeath in Ireland.[2][3] Coosan, which is situated on the shores of Lough Ree, is surrounded by water on three sides and bordered by Athlone on the fourth.[3]
Coosan attracts tourists over the summer months due to its location on the edge of Lough Ree.[citation needed] Coosan Lough, one of the "inner lakes" of Lough Ree, is a common fishing spot.[4] The Lough Ree Yacht Club is located in the area.[5]
The area includes a number of townlands, several of which are described 'quarters'. These include Castlequarter, Hillquarter and Meehanquarter.[3]
The local Roman Catholic parish church, Queen of Peace church, was opened in 1973.[6]
