Dingle

Discover Dingle

A Gaeltacht area with stunning landscapes, and a significant stop for food, music, and fun. Stroll through the harbour and town for local arts and crafts. This is a wonderful place to find Aran jumpers or classic Irish tweed caps or to stop for some of Dingle’s famous seafood.

One of Dingle’s most famous residents, Fungi the dolphin, stayed close to shore for 37 years. A lone dolphin who loved to play with boats and entertain visitors at sea, he quickly became a local treasure in Dingle. Tributes to Fungie can still be found around the town today, and boat tours allow visitors to go out into the Atlantic and experience the diverse wildlife along Ireland’s coast. 

Tour the peninsula to visit medieval ring forts, beehive huts, and prehistoric standing stones with Ogham inscriptions. Cinematic sheer cliff drops are edged by the bluest of water, perfect backdrops for movies such as Ryan’s Daughter and Far and Away. Walk around Sleagh Head for breathtaking views across the Blasket Islands. Being close to the Skellig Islands, Star Wars films have recently adored these shores.

Inch is a wide stretch of beach at low tide with three kilometers of rolling sand dunes that reach Dingle Bay. Dip your toes into the cool waters for a refreshing break.
