Pristine Shores and Stunning Coastal Escapes

County Kerry, on Ireland’s southwest coast, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, and its beaches are no exception. From golden stretches of sand to hidden coves, Kerry’s coastline offers something for every kind of beachgoer. Inch Beach, a vast expanse that seems to stretch endlessly into Dingle Bay, is perfect for walkers, surfers, and families alike. Nearby, Banna Strand provides sweeping views of the Slieve Mish mountains and is steeped in history, adding depth to its natural beauty.

Rossbeigh Beach near Glenbeigh is another gem, ideal for horse riding and water sports, with the Atlantic’s rolling waves providing both excitement and serenity. Ballinskelligs Beach, set in the Gaeltacht region, combines a tranquil setting with rich cultural heritage, including a historic monastery.

For those seeking quieter spots, Derrynane Beach, near Caherdaniel, is a sheltered bay with crystal-clear waters and a wild, rugged charm. It’s part of a national park, so the surrounding scenery is as spectacular as the beach itself.

Whether you’re exploring the Ring of Kerry or the Dingle Peninsula, the beaches in Kerry provide the perfect opportunity to unwind, take in stunning views, and connect with Ireland’s unspoilt natural beauty.
