This is a map of a part of the Dingle Peninsula.
The area is renowned for watersports, especially surfing and windsurfing.
The Dingle Peninsula is situated on the south west coast of Ireland, beside the atlantic sea.
The swell is caused by storms out in the atlantic which then make their way in and hit the west-facing beach between Castlegregory and Fahamore. The local winds cause the waves to take a certain height and timing.
The beach on the other side of the peninsula is sheltered from the atlantic waves, and is perfect for sailing, flat-water windsurfing, pedalos etc.
This ideal area for watersports has developed in recent years to a holiday haven.
it is in close proximity to golf course, scenic walks, mountains and towns.
There is a beach at Cloghane that produces rock crystals in the sand. Locals often go there as a family outing to collect crystals. The crystals are clear and colourless, but can be cloudy. They are also known as Quartz.
