The Dingle Peninsula: home of the Dingle Food Festival

The Dingle Food Festival is held in Dingle, a fishing town located on the Dingle Peninsula (Corca Dhuibhne) on the Wild Atlantic Way. The Peninsula stretches 30 miles (48 kilometres) along the Atlantic Ocean on Ireland’s south-west coast.

The peninsula is dominated by the range of mountains that form its spine, running from the Slieve Mish range to Mount Brandon, Ireland’s second highest peak.

The coastline consists of steep sea-cliffs & sandy beaches with two large sand spits at Inch in the south and the Maharees to the north.

The Blasket Islands lie to the west of the peninsula.

The peninsula has something to offer to everyone. Among other things: sandy beaches safe for swimming, walking routes for all abilities, a thriving Irish language community, a rich musical tradition, fine dining, sea angling, arts and film festivals, talented craftspersons and some of the best surfing in Ireland.
