Extra Details
Ballybunion is a coastal village in north Kerry, 9 miles from the town of Listowel. The beaches near Ballybunion also are a popular surfing site. Other traditions include the beachside Seaweed Baths, featuring sea water with kelp. In summertime cooked periwinkles are salted and served in small paper bags along with a pin to extract the small sea snails.
The beach on the right features impressive tidal caves that can be explored at low tide. There are two commonly used beaches in Ballybunion, divided by the cliff atop which stands the ruined castle. The beach to the left of the castle (if looking toward the sea) is called the "Men's Beach", and the one to the right the "Women's Beach". There is a small cafe, hot seaweed baths and ice cream shop on the women's beach. The large cliffs to the right of the women's beach has shallow caves.
The sheer cliffs over the beach have a scenic walking path, featuring a blowhole, and breathtaking views of Sea Stacks and a multitude of wildlife. It takes about 20 minutes to walk, and brings you round to the "Nun's Beach", a beautiful beach with no access that is overlooked by a convent.
The Village itself contains mostly pubs and amusements, fast food restaurants etc., a playground for young kids and a supermarket, a small Garda Station and a statue of Bill Clinton that looks like it's been moulded from marzipan as opposed to sculpted.
There is a new state of the art enclosed out door playground overlooking the ladies Beach
Enjoy an Irish "seisiun" or traditional session, which takes place in some of the town's many pubs
