Adventure Awaits on the Beara Peninsula
Explore the rugged beauty of the Beara Peninsula, a less-traveled gem offering breathtaking views and adventurous trails. Start your journey with a visit to the sea caves near Ardgroom, where cliffs open up to stunning vistas of Kenmare Bay. Take caution on the paths, especially near the cliff edges. Continue to Allihies Beach for a leisurely stroll or a visit to the copper mining museum, delving into the area’s rich history. Don’t miss the scenic drive to Lambs Head and Dursey Island, known for Ireland’s only cable car crossing open seawater—a thrilling experience in itself.
