It lies along Ireland’s famous Wild Atlantic Way and is surrounded by stunning seascapes and breathtaking scenery in all directions. Why not explore some of the sandy beaches along the peninsula at Derrynane, Castlecove and Waterville, and golf courses are plentiful with courses at Kenmare, Parknasilla and Waterville. Other attractions include Killarney Lakes and National Park, boat trips to the Skelligs and the stunning Beara Peninsula.
