Beautiful Beaches

Kerry’s coastline features diverse coastal landscapes, from the three-mile sandy spit of Inch Beach to the rugged cliffs surrounding Coumeenoole Bay. These Atlantic-facing shores include Rossbeigh’s sand dunes and the secluded St Finian’s Bay, which offers direct views of the Skellig Islands. Many of these locations, such as Clogher Strand, are known for their powerful surf and roles as filming locations for mid-20th-century cinema.
