About
Rossbeigh Beach, nestled on the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland, is a gem of the Ring of Kerry and the Wild Atlantic Way. This six‑mile stretch of golden, sandy shoreline is protected as a Blue Flag beach, offering pristine dunes, clear waters and a wide, flat boardwalk that invites visitors of all ages. Beyond the beach, the village of Glenbeigh offers a mix of traditional Irish charm, friendly locals, and a host of outdoor activities, from horse trekking and kayaking to walks along the scenic Glenbeigh Horseshoe and the nearby Kerry Way. Visitors are drawn to the beach’s natural beauty and convenience; the road access is well marked and parking is ample, even on busy days, thanks to the community’s commitment to keeping the area clean and welcoming. The village’s eateries and pubs serve classic Irish fare and award‑winning coffee, adding a cultural touch to the seaside experience. Whether you’re looking for a quiet sunrise, an energetic family day out, or a spot to enjoy a sunset walk with the dunes at your feet, Rossbeigh offers a relaxed yet vibrant setting that captures the essence of Irish coastlines. Its proximity to attractions like the nearby Rossbeigh Tower, Dooks Golf Links, and the beautiful Seefin Mountains makes it an ideal base for exploring the wider Kerry region.
