Golfing
Waterville's beautiful 18 hole golf course, one of the world's
finest, situated between the mountains and the sea is an experience
not to be missed when visiting Kerry. The fantastic scenery,
people and ambience of Waterville has attracted such celebrities
as Tiger Woods, Ray Floyd and Bill Clinton to Kerry's championship
golf links.
Angling
With the South Coast of Kerry offering such varieties as
Cod, Shark, Skate and Ray, these waters are a dream to any
fisherman. The area provides unique opportunities for shore
fishing and sheltered waters for small boats. Waterville's
Lough Currane has a world reputation for its sea trout and
salmon angling. Ghillies and boats available for hire. Maps
and information is also available locally.
Horse Riding
Spend a few hours riding through the local landscape and
on sandy beaches or go trekking up the mountains, in the countryside
or woodlands. Well equiped Equestrian Centres and Stables
are situated in the area specialising in treks to the local
beaches and other scenic areas of interest.
Cycling
Cycling is perhaps the best way to explore the region at
a leisurely pace, where the cyclist can stop and view the
amazing scenery that the Kerry countryside has to offer. Bicycles
can be hired locally along with information on several routes.
Water Sports
There are several water sports centers in the area incorporating
tuition and equipment rental together with scuba-diving, canoeing,
water skiing, windsurfing and sailing. The area is surrounded
by safe and beautiful swimming havens where people can go
to escape the pressures of life and enter the adventurous
world of watersports.
Walking
If you enjoy walking or mountain climbing, a `must do` when
visiting Kerry is an exploration of the Kerry Way, Ireland's
most spectacular long-distanced walk. The hills and mountains
offer panoramic views for any visitor. The Walking Festivals
in the area also offer the choice of challenging or leisurely
walks along old roads and mountain paths. Maps, guides and
information available locally.
