BEACH GUIDE

The Dingle Peninsula region is famous for its beautiful and "blue flagged" beaches. The Blue Flag means that they have passed all inspections for cleanliness and safety. There are  many beaches to choose from; small sheltered coves to the vast strands of Inch. Even at the height of Summer you will never find an over-crowded beach.  Almost all the beaches have rich golden sand with little or no stone.
