Things To Do In Annascaul County Kerry Ireland
Inch Beach Strand and Community
Inch is a small community grouped around a superb beach. The area commands an excellent view of the Atlantic and the McGillycuddy Reeks, the highest mountain range in Ireland. The beach , stretching four miles into Dingle Bay, has been featured prominently in 'Ryan's Daughter' and other films.
Annascaul Walking and Hiking
Annascaul and Inch lie in the Southern foothills of the Slieve Mish Mountains. This range forms the backbone of the Dingle Peninsula and rises to peaks of over 2,000 ft. Mountains and beaches are an exciting combination offering amazing possibilities for recreation. Walking in the area ranges from sea level to the mountains around Annascaul lake and river.
The Dingle Way
'The Dingle Way' (Dingle Peninsula Ireland) passes through Inch and Annascaul. We also have our own way-marked walks. Where ever you walk the views are breathtaking, and the countryside unspoilt and the routs unfrequented.
Fishing Around Annascaul
Annascaul lake and rivers and Inch river provide excellent freshwater fishing. Inch strand is an acknowledged international shore angling venue.
Water Sports
There are many beaches, including Inch where people come to swim, surf, canoe, sail etc. The peninsula is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and washed by the Gulf stream, giving pure ocean water, a mild climate, clean beaches and a pollution free environment.
Wild Life Sancutary
Apart from providing us with a beautiful strand the Inch sandspit and coastline is an area of geological, biological and ecological significance hosting an extensive range of wildlife.
"Dolphins clown about in the bay. A heron lands by the rivers and terns and gannets dive like arrows into clear water.On the lower slopes of the mountain, just above the sea a herd of wild goats winter in natural caves. The buzzard soars free looking down on the Kingdom of Kerry. There are no enemies here, no acid rain, no smog, no lead."
