Ballybunion : Must-See Attractions

Ballybunion

Ballybunion (Baile an Bhuinneánaigh in Irish Gaelic) is a village in County Kerry, Ireland. A very popular tourist destination, it attracts travellers who come to discover the beauty of the ruins of its castle, Ballybunion Castle.

Visiting Ballybunion

A seaside tourist village

Ballybunion is highly regarded for the beauty of its coastline, its beaches and its impressive cliffs. The area is teeming with all kinds of activities: surfing, fishing, golf, hiking, visiting the castle, spotting dolphins offshore…

The village is very welcoming, with plenty of shops, Irish pubs and restaurants.

So do not be surprised if you come across a statue of Bill Clinton in the town centre. The monument was erected as a tribute after the American politician came to play golf in the town.

Finally, do not miss the village speciality, served exclusively in summer: winkles, cooked and served in paper bags to eat on the go. A delight for seafood lovers!
