Spectacularly beautiful. Stop and explore the archeological sites along the way. The beehive cells etc. But the main reason to travel the drive is the view of the Dingle coastline and the islands offshore. Breathtaking. Do not miss it. A religious experience. more

This drive provided us with the most amazing views we saw on our entire trip. The best part is that you can do it for free if you'd like! Though most places small towns were still closed up for winter, it seemed like there would be some enjoyable places to have a pint along the way during the summer. more

I was fortunate to visit England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland in July and, while all the countries were lovely and had their own special offerings...it is Ireland I will return to in general and Dingle in particular. We only had a week in Ireland and I feel I did it such a disservice by just scratching the surface in so... more

The Slea Head Drive is absolutely lovely, but then so is the entire Dingle Peninsula. However, you should be aware that enormous tourist buses might meet you head on on the narrow parts of the road, and that no matter how many cars are behind you, or how impossible it is to back up or turn around, you may be... more

If there was a "6 star" option, I would give it Slea Head! IMO better than the Skelling Drive on the Ring of Kerry. Absolutely the most beautiful scenery--stunning vistas and coastlines, the blaskets, the quaint traditional houses. I can't recommend doing this strongly enough--like others have said, if you are anywhere on the penninsula, it is a must see!... more

. . . . in my opinion. Even if you only visit the Dingle Peninsula for just a day - and what a great shame that would be - do drive west from Dingle town on the R559 around Slea Head and be rewarded with spectacular views all the way along the coast. Places to look out for: Dunbeg Promontory... more

It would be hard to put into words how beautiful the Dingle Peninsula really is, nearly impossible to explain such raw magnificence. This is my favorite part of Ireland, even more alluring and certainly more mysterious than the Ring of Kerry. This peninsula has been inhabited for 6000 years and everyone who has visited has left their mark. There are... more

The Slea head drive was by far the most beautiful part of Ireland we have seen on our two week trip. We absolutely loved the small winding roads. Sometimes it gets quite difficult to read the signs, since a lot of them are in Irish, so a good map can be crucial, although you will eventually gat back to your... more

We asked locals if they had one day in all of Ireland - where would they go? They all said Slea Head on the Dingle Peninsula. It is the western most point in all of Europe and is one of the most beautiful places I've every seen. It is definitely a "must see". more
