Great beach to visit. It is large with a rocky back for kids to climb and the sands are clean and…read morewell kept.

Five stars is possibly generous, but even if the incredible experience is made by the company as…read moremuch as the location, it feels impossible not to give Lahinch Beach a full five stars. The beach itself is vast, it has great waves for surfing, and it is entirely gorgeous. The cliffs either side ensconce the bay, making it feel like a private slice of ocean, even though it's not small. The practicalities: There are fantastic coast guards to make sure you don't get washed out by the tide (like we nearly did). The beach is barely a few minutes from all manner of little shops, bars, and eateries (we got fish and chips and sat on the beach). You can hire surfing equipment and even get lessons (next time). It's clean, it's beautiful, and it's absolutely worth the drive from Dublin. Just watch out for the weever fish -- they'll give you quite a sting, if you stand one them!

There are a ton of cute little shells that you can find intact and wash off if you want a souvenir. The shops were closed when I visited today but apparently they may be up for sale and reopened sometime this year. There is a good amount of parking here and a very clean container bathroom with running water and no smell. There's a spigot you can use to wash your feet off with when you're done. If you have the chance I definitely recommend stopping here.

About a quarter-century ago, I sought the beach out on my first trip to the Dingle Peninsula and found it looking as magical as it did in the movie. Earlier this month, I returned with Jamie W. knowing full well that it was on our way to our overnight stay in Dingle. The magic was there still (photo: http://bit.ly/2ehwPGZ). It was close to sunset and the perfect time to enjoy the three-mile stretch of flat compacted sand that looked so visually stunning you would have thought someone intentionally designed the beach that way. It was fairly empty except for random tourists and hardcore surfers. All we did was walk out into the sand and enjoy the calm of the sea cradled by Brandon Bay. There were two stray orange cats next to the outhouse rather indifferent to our presence but somehow in tune with the peaceful environs (photo: http://bit.ly/2fc3yLz). I hope it's not another 25 years before I return.

When we left to the east, the way out was much more straightforward. I'd recommend following this route regardless of the direction you approach from. The beach itself had a perimeter of large smooth rocks. Like most of our trip, it was extremely windy. The beach was very scenic but we didn't see anyone spending much time there, granted the end of September isn't exactly the peak beach time. 3 stars.

Dun dun dun! He was a pacifist (in Ireland! gasp!) who lobbied for equal rights for Catholics. He was instrumental in the passage of the Catholic Emancipation Act, essentially granting Catholics equal rights in Ireland. Easy to understand why he is much beloved. The Historical Park is definitely worth a visit if you are on the Ring of Kerry or staying in or near Caherdaniel (itself a ridiculously charming and non-touristy town). The House now serves as a museum of O'Connell's early, later, and political life. The furnishings are well-kept and the house well-maintained, providing a glimpse of upper-scale Irish life from the early 19th century. The cherries on the cake here, however, are the grounds which are much like botanical gardens here in the States. There are lovely manicured gardens, more Romantic and wild gardens, woodlands, and an incredible expanse of beach at Derrynane Bay...with ample warnings about not venturing too near the surf for fear you might get sucked in, sucked out to sea, and never be heard from again. A highlight of the Park is the Druid stone monument featuring the Ogham "language," which you come across on your walk up to the Park grounds. Admission to the whole park is also a real deal at under 3 Euros. A nice way to spend a few hours on your trip to the Ring.

There is also a small pitch and putt course you can pay to play and a small toilet block. Be warned tho as the road to the beach is super narrow in places and only wide enough for one car - which would be great if it wasn't a two way road! But if your reversing skills are on point or you are lucky to be one of the only people driving in that direction - then go for it! Bring a kite (it's normally windy enough for one!) and also a bucket and spade and a large blanket and you will be set!

Well placed for exploring the West Cork coast. Great shop across the road that even does camping gas. The only real downside was the walk up the main road to the nearest boozer - not far but a little stressful with kids.
