Dingle, Ventry, or Inch?

Inch is only a short drive from Dingle. An amazing surf beach. We had lunch there overlooking the beach and then moved on to Dingle. Personally I would stay in Dingle. We stayed 3 nights at the lovely Lighthouse B & B which overlooks Dingle Bay. Make Dingle your base and head out from there every day.

Agree with Judy... stay in Dingle and drive from there, but whatever you do, don't miss Inch Beach... from what I remember there were some scandlous rumors about a vicar and an affair... really can't remember the details, but it doesn't matter... beautiful place. I took one of my all time favorite images there of a very old man taking a photograph of the completely empty beach except for one person walking..(I was there in Feb. a few years ago)

We also agree. Stay in Dingle - travel out from there - return at night an enjoy the local music. In addition to the pubs, at times there are fine local concerts in the churches, etc.

I agree also, stay in Dingle. It is awesome! We also stayed at the Lighthouse B&B and LOVED the views of Dingle Bay from so many of the rooms. Denis and Mary were also very interesting to talk to. Dingle was my favorite town and The Lighthouse my favorite B&B of the whole trip. Don't miss the Slea Head Drive around Dingle Peninsula.

Thanks so much for the guidance! It sounds like Dingle it is, and I'll check for availability at Lighthouse B&B.

100% agree with everyone, Dingle is a perfect place to stay, it's small and easy to navigate, a great jumping off place for day tours, and has some fantastic live music and great pubs. Dingle is my favorite place in all of Ireland. In terms of where to stay, I highly recommend Emlagh Lodge Maggie was wonderful, and it was by far the cleanest place we stayed in our entire trip. The breakfasts are fantastic, views amazing, and a short walk into town by two different paths (a footpath along the water, or the main street in town). It's a little way out of town, so it's extremely quiet, but an easy walk into restaurants and bars. Enjoy!!

Dingle!! We stayed at the Milestone House and loved it. They provide you with a hand-drawn map of the peninsula and another of the town, both with great recommendations of what to see. They also serve an awesome breakfast! We stayed in room #1, with a very nice view of the water.

We just got back from Dingle and also had a wonderful stay at the Milestone House- the breakfasts were amazing and the hosts were just lovely people and so helpful. You mentioned wanting to experience the area- we booked a 4 hr tour of Slea Head with Denis Ryan of Dingle Tours and it was the highlight of our time in Dingle. Getting to know a local, hearing history and folklore of the area, just made us appreciate and connect with Dingle so much more. Enjoy your trip!

I vote for Dingle and I loved Heaton's B&B. Beautiful B&B and wonderful, kind host. The breakfast was the best we had in all of Ireland.
