Derrynane Beach

Derrynane Beach is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland. Even if you can only splash around in the Atlantic in midsummer, a visit is worthwhile at any time of the year. Whether you are building sandcastles with your children, going for a walk by the water or just lying in the sand - the beach fulfills all your wishes.

Close to Derrynane House, the former home of the famous Daniel O'Connel and with a large car park behind the dunes, the beach is anything but hidden but the beach is big enough for everyone.
The water temperatures are not as low as you might think.
Due to the sheltered location you will find fine sand on the beach. A wonderfully wide sandy area, especially at low tide. Picturesque rocks in the water are included for free.

A lovely beach for swimming or just walking along the sand dunes and beach. You can park at Derrynanne House a walk down. You can also walk along the Kerry Way and do a circular walk back to the car park.
