Ventry Bay
There are many
wonderful walks in Ventry and its surrounding area. The
Dingle Way passes through Ventry, up Caherard Hill and then
down to and along Ventry Beach before going on to Dunquin.
Several locally produced guides and other books are available
describing walks in Ventry.
Horseriding
is available during the summer months on the beach, and Dingle
Horseriding offer a half-day trek from Dingle town to Ventry
Beach and back again.
During the
summer, the local pubs, the Skipper Restaurant and Penny's
Pottery Cafe offer a choice of good food throughout the day
and evening.

Ventry
(Ceann Tra)is a small village four miles west of Dingle.
It is unusual in that it has two centres of commerce,
both comprised of a pub and a shop. One has the Catholic
church, and the other, in true balance, has the primary
school. The whole Ventry area is linked by the arc of
Ventry Harbour, with one of the most attractive and
safest beaches on the west coast of Ireland.
Ventry is a
great place to enjoy a seaside, rural holiday . . . or
to just escape the bustle of Dingle town
Ventry's
sheltered harbour and three miles of sandy beach make it
one of the most attractive and safest beaches on the
west coast of Ireland. Safe swimming, windsurfing,
canoeing, diving and sunbathing can be enjoyed by
people of all ages. Jamie Knox's Focus Windsurfing
School, based in Castlegregory, has equipment available
for hire right at Ventry Beach, as well as offers
tuition and conducts a Watersports Adventure Club during
July and August for kids and teens.
