Dungeagan is located in Ballinskelligs and is southwest of Dublin, Ireland. It started out as a trade center with three shops in 1886 but now attracts visitors who swim or stroll on its Blue Flag Beach. Cill Rialaig Arts Centre hosts art exhibits and an artists retreat village where painters seek solitude to work on their pieces. Derrynane House is a museum worth visiting that houses relics of Daniel O’Connell, a celebrated Irish lawyer and politician. Ballinskelligs Beach is a beautiful sandy stretch with swimming and lifesaving lessons offered during the summer, and it is only 2 km (1.2 mi) from Dungeagan. The seasonal Ballinskelligs’ Country Market sports homegrown fruits, bread, jewelry, and crafts. For accommodations in the village, check out these Airbnb vacation rentals in Dungeagan, Ireland.
