Best Beaches of Dingle

The Dingle Peninsula’s coastline features a diverse range of Atlantic beaches, from the three-mile sand spit at Inch to the rugged, cliff-backed Coumeenoole Bay. Many of these locations, including Clogher Strand and Beal Bán, offer views of the Blasket Islands and the Brandon Mountains. These spots are known for specific activities like the annual horse races at Beal Bán or the consistent surf breaks at Formoyle and Inch.
