Best beaches in Kenmare Municipal District
These five beaches along the Wild Atlantic Way in County Kerry represent the diverse coastal geography of the Dingle and Iveragh Peninsulas. The selection includes vast sand spits like Inch and Rossbeigh, which extend kilometers into the Atlantic, and the sheltered, turquoise-water coves of Derrynane. These sites offer specific geological and historical interest, from the dramatic cliff-backed setting of Coumeenoole Bay at the edge of Slea Head to St Finians Bay, which provides direct views of the Skellig Islands and experiences powerful Atlantic swells.
Rossbeigh Beach
A seven-kilometer sandy spit located near Glenbeigh on the Ring of Kerry. It forms part of the Castlemaine Harbour Special Area of Conservation and offers views across the water to the Dingle Peninsula.
Coumeenoole Bay
A dramatic beach situated at the westernmost tip of the Dingle Peninsula along the Slea Head Drive. Characterized by high cliffs and jagged rock formations, the area is known for strong undercurrents that make the water unsuitable for swimming.
