The Wild Atlantic Way |
|
| The Wild Atlantic Way is a coastal route stretching from Kinsale to Fanad Head in northern Co. Donegal. The Beara Peninsula's coastline is very much a part of this route, every part of it is on it as the coast weaves its spectacular way round from Kenmare to Glengarriff, passing Ardgroom Harbour, Coulagh Bay, Eyeries, The Cod's Head, Dursey Island, Blackball Head, Bere Island, Adrigole on the way | |

Look for the blue w sign for the Wild Atlantic Way route. Note the Castletownbere sign has a S on it, this means its pointing South on the route, there will be an N for going North |
