Dingle

An Daingean

A harbor town at the heart of the Irish-speaking Dingle Peninsula, lined with colorful pubs. It is a popular day-trip destination from Killarney via the Slea Head Drive.

Dingle lies on the south coast of the Dingle Peninsula and is the center of the Irish-speaking (Gaelic) Gaeltacht area. Its streets are full of colorful pubs and craft shops. Traditional music on summer evenings is famous, and the ice cream shop Murphy’s often has a queue. The Slea Head Drive, which starts from town, is about 47 km long and passes prehistoric beehive stone huts, Gallarus Oratory and the Atlantic sea cliffs. From Killarney it is about an hour’s drive, passing Inch Beach along the way.
