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.
Bring your swimming togs to Inch Strand in County Kerry and enjoy the wide range of water activities on offer.
Approximately 5km in length, the stunning sandy beach of Inch Strand has been featured in iconic cinematic pieces of work such as David Lean's "Ryan's Daughter" and Brian Desmond Hurst's adaptation of JM Synge's "Playboy of the Western World."
Take a walk along the famous strand, or take part in water activities like sea angling, surfing and more. Be sure to stop by during the summer bathing season so that the kids can enjoy the lifeguarded ocean and you can relax and sunbathe on the warm sand.
For more information, check out the noticeboard located at the beach.
