THINGS TO DO
Breege's Recommendations
Beaches
​
BÉAL BÁN BEACH (green coast beach 2019) is a must for a walk or safe swim. Situated in front of Granville House, it is a great spot from which to watch our glorious sunsets. Less safe for swimming, CLOGHER BEACH and COUMEENOLE BEACH where the currents can be very strong are nonetheless worth a visit. Coumeenole was used for filming Ryan's Daughter and it is located just north of Slea Head on the western extremity of the Dingle peninsula.
Cultural Sites
Situated in Ballyferriter Village, this is a great place to get a taste of the archaeology, history and culture of the Dingle Peninsula.
