Portmagee - Kerry's Hidden Gem

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 enough, we suppose, but the description only touches on the more obvious charms of our seaside home. 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.

First of all you're going to need to know our location, nestled beside the Atlantic, 10 miles from the famous Ring of Kerry on the Iveragh Peninsula. You'll also need to know that we are accessible via a variety of different routes and transportation methods.

Magee's Port - How Portmagee got its name

You'll also want to know all about Skelligs Rocks, the giant pyramids of limestone that, for centuries, housed hermit monks in beehive huts, thousands of nesting gannets in Europe's largest such sanctuary, and how to experience the enigma of the Skelligs for yourself.
