Ditch the Ring of Kerry for the Dingle Peninsula, where stunning views, historic sites, lively pubs, and a charming harbor create the perfect day trip.
Co. Kerry, Ireland Get directions
"A day trip to Dingle Many people pass up visiting the Dingle Peninsula in favor for the famous "Ring of Kerry" drive in Ireland . However, this beautiful place packs a big punch. The town itself has plenty to do including a beautiful harbor and an aquarium, not to mention shopping and plenty of pubs. We decided to take a rental car (yes, the driving is on the left hand side) and make the scenic loop in a day. The views are not only spectacular, but full of history. On one turn, we discovered a famine era house, on another, beehive huts that were built by monks centuries ago. There is a beach and even a nature center there to enjoy. Even though the twisty road is about a car length wide, the drive is easy. Other drivers are conscientious, and of course, everyone takes a leisurely pace to enjoy all the sights. I suggest that you take a picnic lunch with you. Not only will you avoid the high restaurant prices, but you will find a spot with a beautiful view and make a wonderful memory too.
