Hiking
White Strand near Castlecove owes its name to its glorious white sand. Rocky sections divide the beach into sheltered coves.

Glanbeg Beach is somewhat of an exception from the usually crowded places along the Ring of Kerry. Beach Bar and the (recommended) fish restaurant O'Carroll's Cove as well as the large camping site attract various visitors, but the masses of buses pass by, e.g. to the nearest town Sneem. The largest "population" here are the seagulls, sometimes stoic, sometimes nasty to colleagues, hovering in the steady coastal wind. Besides the possibility of a refreshing swim, the views across the Kenmare River to the Beara Peninsula are a feast for the eyes.

A clear white beach that feels like a quiet breather along the usually busy Ring of Kerry. The rock formations break the beach into small, sheltered rooms where the sound of the ocean rolls in muffled. Despite the proximity of O’Carroll’s Cove and the campsite, the beach itself remains surprisingly quiet: buses race past, but rarely stop. As a result, the dominant rhythm here is that of the coastal wind and the seagulls circling in fixed patterns above the Kenmare River.
