Clogher Beach
The EPA does not monitor this beach for bathing water, so there is no water-quality record. Check locally and follow the signs before you swim.
Experience the mesmerising power of the sea at Clogher Beach on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry. This tiny beach offers wonderful views of the Blasket Islands.
Clogher Beach is about 12km west of Dingle Town along the Slea Head Drive in County Kerry. Enjoy stunning views from here, especially on a windy day where the size and sound of the waves makes it a popular spot with locals and visitors alike.
The enchanting circular bay of Clogher Beach is encased by battered cliffs in varying colours of green, blue and yellow. Views look out at Inis Tuaisceart, known locally as An Fear Marbh, or Dead Man, which is the most northerly of the Blasket Islands. There are also wonderful views of Ceann Sibéal and the Three Sisters.
A cliff top walk of less than 3km, called Cosán Chuas na nEighe, starts at the cark park. Clogher Beach is unsafe for bathing.
