sandy cove at the East end of the island provides a sheltered
anchorage where visitors who make arrangements with the local

DINGLE
Dingle is the most Westerly town in Europe at the far end of the Dingle Peninsula
which is the most Northerly of the three hilly promontories stretching out
into the broad Atlantic Ocean, bounded by Tralee Bay and Brandon Bay to the
North, with Dingle Bay on its Southern side. One can approach Dingle by way
of the Conor Pass, the road climbing up between the Stradbally mountains
to the East and the Brandon mountain to the West, The Pass crosses the Peninsula
from North to South and is a must for it's scenic beauty. At the summit 390
metres (1,300 ft.) one can stop and admire the sea in both directions. Continue
through to Dingle with its many craft shops, its harbour and fishing fleet,
its seafood restaurants, aquarium, cinema and of course Irish ballad singing
in the many bars.
Continuing past Dingle takes one round a road cut into the
side of the rocky cliffs around Slea Head. Here you are at
close quarters to the wide Atlantic Ocean. Travelling this
road, one can see the Blasket Island, inhabited until the 1950's
when the islanders were removed because of the difficulties
of survival. This is the last landfall before America.
