10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Dingle That You Shouldn't Miss

March 7, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

Perched on the hem of the Atlantic in Ireland's southwest, charming Dingle looks out over Dingle Bay to the Blasket Islands. Chock full of friendly pubs where live traditional music plays, the Irish-speaking area fills to the brim with tourists on weekends and through summer. Another regular visitor to Dingle's Gulf Stream-warmed waters is Fungi, the dolphin, the town's unofficial mascot. Popular tourist attractions include the beaches, Mount Brandon and Ballydavid and Ballyferriter villages.

We loved Carol’s gallery, we had to go back a second day! Her work is astounding, especially how she can capture the sea and skies in their beauty and enormity. Well worth going to! Bought her book whilst there. We were also lucky enough to meet her on our first day. Such a lovely lady. Well worth visiting!

My husband and I went on a fantastic private tour with Duriamid from Dingle to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren then returned to Dingle all in one day. We greatly enjoyed the knowledge he shared with us throughout the whole day and the friendly conversation. We loved having the chance to grab sandwiches along the way and enjoy lunch at the Cliffs of Moher. Hands down best lunch view! We also stopped for delicious coffee and the best ice cream near Doolin. It was truly a remarkable day. We would recommend this tour to all family & friends!
