Island View House (Castletownbere)

The Beara Way offers a unique possibility to discover one of Ireland's best-kept secrets. The Beara Peninsula is a 48-kilometre-long mountainous strip of land that extends into the Atlantic Ocean. The rather remote location makes it perhaps one of the most pristine parts of southwest Ireland. Just like the more northern Kerry Way and Dingle Way, it is a magical world of mountains and lakes, surrounded by a picturesque coastline. The route leads past grandiose archaeological remains of prehistoric inhabitants, in the form of standing stones or Tombstones. In this blog post, we have included all you need to know to walk the Beara Way, including the full route, a map, distance, baggage transfer services, accommodations, and more!
