About White Strand, Caherciveen

White Strand, near Cahersiveen, is a small, sheltered Blue Flag beach of pale sand tucked along the Iveragh coast. Calm, clean and gently shelving, it is a safe, family-friendly spot for swimming, with summer lifeguards in season and fine views across to Valentia Island and Beginish. Its modest size and quiet setting make it a relaxed alternative to the busier strands on the Ring of Kerry, with the heritage town of Cahersiveen close by.
