Co. Kerry

Derrynane Beach ? My personal favourite in the whole world!!! This is a sheltered sandy beach with a natural harbour. Access is by a narrow road off the Ring of Kerry which may not be very suitable for a caravan or motorhome. Better just to bring the car!

Banna Beach ? Located just 7km from Tralee this again is a lovely sandy beach which extends for miles and is a walker?s paradise. The sand dunes here are a designated conservation area with rare plants and animals.
