Ballybunion
Edit SpotAbout
When the people leave the beach around 5 it gets quite and chilled out. Lots of dolphins around too!
Additional Info:
Fun, if Cheesy Sea Side town in kerry, good place to start off a tour of the south west coast, good golf course too! Stick close to the Cliffs to get a good take off. Watch out for swimmers during the weekend days.
