Difficulty: Easy
Route details: One-way (19km). Take the N86 from Tralee and the R560 past Castlegregory. Start at Fermoyle and walk back to the east. The walk is level.
Why: This is part of the long-distance Dingle Way. Follow one of Ireland’s longest beaches to the east for 11km. Look out for interesting shells and jellyfish along the strandline (there are great views back west to Brandon Mountain, too). Take a small detour through the sand dunes to Lough Gill, which is the main stronghold in Ireland for the rare natterjack toad. From the end of the peninsula, there are good views of the Magharee Islands to the north and Banna Strand to the east, site of the gunrunning attempt by Roger Casement before the Easter Rising in 1916. Return by local roads to Castlegregory.
