Glamping in Dingle Peninsula

The sea around the Dingle Peninsula is good for spotting dolphins and whales. You may spot the bottlenose dolphin, Dingle's unofficial mascot, swimming in the open sea. You can do the tour on your own by renting a sailboat or kayak, or take advantage of the two-hour tours.

Dunmore Head is a lookout point offering a sweeping panoramic view of the rough ocean lapping at Dingle's beaches. You'll be able to admire the indescribable scenery, wave to the sheep wandering along the beautiful green cliffs and watch the dolphins plunge their bodies into the crystal clear waters of the sea. Climb to the top of Dunmore Head and see the Ogham Stone which is a little piece of Irish history. Finish with a nice picnic while the breeze from the waves caresses your face.

The beach has fine golden sand, several wild dunes stretching all the way to Dingle Bay and miles of long sand perfect for a wonderful walk. During the summer season it is a favourite with fishermen and swimmers, and ideal for surfers. Inch Beach has lifeguards and a blue flag. You can take advantage of the surf schools or hire water sports equipment or wetsuits.

It's a 952-metre peak, the highest in the area, and you don't need to be a fit athlete to climb it as the whole hike can be completed in a few hours. You should bring good shoes, water and snacks to enjoy the trail. The views from the summit are breathtaking and if accompanied by a camera you will capture spectacular postcards. At the end of the hike you can sit back and enjoy a good craft beer and admire the scenery around you.

Only local stone was needed for their construction and it is impressive how they are still intact today despite the island's harsh climates. Many of these huts were home to hundreds of families and monks. Near the Beehive Huts is the Gallarus Oratory, the best preserved early Christian church in the country, built in a similar fashion to the huts.
