Inchydoney in West Cork receives first place, followed by Banna Strand and Inch beach respectively.
Derrynane comes in at number five, followed by Coumeenoole in West Kerry in sixth position, Rossbeigh falls in at eighth position ( very Near to Fred and Adrien’s homes – how lucky are they) proceeded by Ladies’ Beach in Ballybunion in ninth place.

“The awards recognise the best beaches in Ireland, according to the travellers that have visited and given them the highest levels of praise,” said a spokeswoman for TripAdvisor.
Kerry TD Martin Ferris was among the first to congratulate all those involved in maintaining Kerry’s beaches.
“While many of us take or beaches for granted, a huge amount of work goes into the upkeep of the coastline and thanks is due to the local communities and voluntary groups who keep a close watch and carry out voluntary clean-ups each year,” he said.
Deputy Ferris also acknowledged the fact that Kerry County Council also spends considerable resources maintaining an safeguarding the county’s beaches.
This is a huge boost for the Kerry Hospitality industry coming in the Spring/Summer season.
Here at Red Chair Recruitment we are particularly pleased to see Rossbeigh receive some recognition and secure a place on the TripAdvisor list. Seeing as many of us in the Red Chair office have strong connections with the Glenbeigh area where the beach is located on the scenic Ring of Kerry.
Considering the damage that was done to the beach by the harsh winter of 2014, it’s amazing to see that all the hard work done by the Community Council and the County Council has paid off.
