County Kerry's Unmissable Highlights

County Kerry encompasses the Wild Atlantic Way’s most prominent landmarks, from the UNESCO-listed Skellig Monastery to the Iron Age drystone masonry of Staigue Fort. The region is defined by the mountainous terrain of the Conor Pass and the 300-meter-high Kerry Cliffs. Coastal highlights include the five-kilometer sand spit at Inch Beach and the early Christian architecture of the Gallarus Oratory. These sites represent over two millennia of Irish history set against a backdrop of glacial valleys and rugged peninsulas.

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.
