39. Ballyferriter, the coast near by, Wine Strand Beach, views of The Three Sisters and Mount Brandon, Dingle Peninsular, County Kerry
Ballyferriter, County Kerry, on the Dingle Peninsula (Baile an Fheirtéaraigh, Co. Chiarrai) is a small one-street busy bustling holiday village where the Irish language is the common tongue amongst the locals. It is full of pubs and B & B's and several cafe's and plenty of traditional music sessions in the evening. It is a good area to base yourself to explore the Dingle Peninsula of County Kerry. Mount Brandon can be seen in the distance to the left of the church.
The community have set up a small museum of local history, geology and archaeology and a cafe too (Músaem Chorca Dhuibhne).
