On the northern stretch of the peninsula in an area called the Maharees, lies the charming village of Castlegregory. Flanked on either side by the large bays, Tralee Bay and Brandon Bay, the area has an abundance of well-serviced beaches to enjoy. Brandon Bay is popular with windsurfers while the Maharees area, with its Blue Flag Beach, is perfect for shore angling. You can swim, water-sail or horse ride on Ireland’s longest beach which stretches 19Km from the Maharees through Castlegregory to Cloghane. Alternatively there’s a golf course only a stone’s throw from Castlegregory village. Nearby Lough Gill is an important breeding ground and home to the rare Natterjack Toad as well as the migratory Bewick, Mute and Whooper swans.
