Portmagee is a little bit special. It's often described
as "a picturesque and sleepy little fishing village
on the South Western most tip of the Iveragh peninsula,
just off the Ring of Kerry". It's true but the
description only touches on the more obvious charms of our
seaside home.
Portmagee is within reach of a huge number of activities
from golfing to diving, for which the area
is justly famous.
We're also the departure hub for trips to the amazing and
awe-inspiring Skelligs Rocks,
the home of preserved monastic settlements from the 6th
century.
And this is just the jewel in a crown of beautiful scenery,
historical sites and fascinating places to visit
in the area.
Our past is far from sleepy as is amply demonstrated in
the tale of how the village got
its name - pirates, smugglers and political intrigue
are all mixed up in it.
Our New Year celebrations, based
on a unique 160 year old tradition have a colourful history
attached.
We think that, after this tour, you'll have a taste for
why Portmagee is Kerry's best kept secret and why
you'll simply have to come see for
yourself.
