Inch Beach
An outdoor seaside-attractions in County Kerry
A stunning Blue Flag beach on the Dingle Peninsula, Inch Beach is a long stretch of golden sand backed by dunes, perfect for families. The shallow waters are safe for paddling and swimming, and the beach is popular for surfing, kayaking, and windsurfing (lessons available). Facilities include a large car park, portable toilets in summer, and a nearby cafe. Dogs are allowed on a lead. The beach is exposed, so bring wind protection.
