Dingle, also called An Daingean or Daingean Uí Chúis in Irish, is the only town in the Dingle Peninsula, located on the northernmost section of County Kerry. Tourism is one of the biggest industries in town, and with good reason. Its top attraction is St. Mary’s, a neo-Gothic church. For those with a sweet tooth, a visit to Murphy’s Ice Cream, which offers homemade ice cream made from milk from local cows, is a must. If you want your refreshments a little harder, get a drink from Dingle Distillery. Alternatively, you can drop by one of the pubs in town and listen to traditional Irish music with your beer. Of course, no trip to Dingle would be complete without trying out activities near the water, including swimming, surfing, and spotting the unique rock formations jutting out of the ocean.
