Ventry (Ceann Trá)

Ireland

Ventry sits in a sheltered bay on the Dingle Peninsula, reached via the R559 coastal road from Dingle town just 6 kilometers away. This small Gaeltacht village lies along the Ring of Kerry route, with narrow winding roads that require careful driving, especially when tour buses are about. The approach from Cork follows the N22 and N86, while Dublin visitors take the M7, N21, and N86 for roughly 350 kilometers. Electric vehicle drivers will find fast chargers in nearby Dingle. The village boasts one of Ireland's longest beaches at nearly 3 kilometers of golden sand, drawing surfers year-round with consistent Atlantic swells.
