Kerry Cliffs
Aillte Chiarraí
Sea cliffs about 300 meters high, with clear views of the Skelligs on fine days. Far quieter than the Cliffs of Moher.
Kerry Cliffs lie south of Portmagee and are a privately run viewpoint. The cliffs rise about 300 meters straight out of the Atlantic. The lookout faces Skellig Michael and Little Skellig, whose outlines are clear on sunny days. The site has a reconstructed stone house exhibit and a café. An admission fee is charged, and prices are posted on site. It can be very windy, so stay well back from the cliff edge. If you could not get boat tickets to the Skelligs, or if weather has canceled the crossings, you can come here to see them from afar.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–19:00 (extended in summer; confirm on site)
