Best Beaches

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.
