This beach, the longest in Ireland, stretches for 19km around the wonderful Brandon Bay. Several paths lead down to the beach from the road to Fahamore on the headland of Castlegregory. Offshore at the north end of the Strand lie the Magharee Islands, also known as The Seven Hogs. At low tide it is possible to walk from Illauntannig, the largest island on which there is an early Christian monastery, to Reennafardarrig Island.

This is the highest pass (456m - car park) open to cars in Ireland. The road hugs the flank of the mountain to reach the pass, commanding superb views of Dingle Harbour to the south and Brandon Mountain to the north, as well as overlooking Brandon Bay and Tralee Bay, which are separated by the Castlegregory Peninsula to the northeast.

The chapel of Presentation Convent contains beautiful stained-glass windows representing scenes from the Bible. They were created in 1924 by Harry Clarke.

A stark modern building houses a collection celebrating the rich Gaelic literary tradition of the Blasket Islands, based on local folktales and a source of fascination for scholars. The centre also illustrates the traditional activities of the archipelago such as fishing in small boats made of skin stretched over a timber frame, digging in the fields with spades and donkey transport.

Most likely built in the 9C in dry stone, this chapel, in the shape of an inverted boat, is a well-preserved example of a corbelled building. A window opens to the east and a door surmounted by a double lintel opens to the west. Above the door, a pair of projecting stones with drill holes suggest that it was once closed by a wooden door.
