Rossbeigh
About Rossbeigh
Rossbeigh is a dramatic Blue Flag strand on the Ring of Kerry, a long sandy spit reaching into Dingle Bay opposite Inch. Backed by dunes and looking towards the Dingle Peninsula, it offers a magnificent walk and reliable Atlantic surf. Summer lifeguards patrol the marked area, which matters here: strong currents run around the spit, so swimming is safest within the flags. The village of Glenbeigh and the start of the Kerry Way are just inland.
