Slea Head Walk

4.35 miles (7 km)

Open Streetmap This walk visits Slea Head on the westernmost part of the Dingle Peninsula, in southwest County Kerry.
You can start the walk from the car parking area near the Fahan Beehive Huts and Cashel Murphy to the east of the head. From here you can head west along the Slea Head Drive to Slea Head where you will find the Slea Cross. Along the way there are glorious sea views, impressive rock formations and wonderful cliff tops to enjoy. Look out for wildlife including dolphins in the seas below and a variety of sea birds around the cliffs.
The walk continues along the drive before finishing at the lovely Coumeenoole Beach. You can extend the walk to Dunmore Head, the westernmost point of Ireland. Here there are more great views over Blasket Island.
To continue your walking in the area head north along the waymarked Dingle Way to pick up the splendid Ballydavid Cliff Walk.
