Fishing in Kenmare: Cast Off into Adventure on the Wild Atlantic
Kenmare, nestled between the Ring of Kerry and the Beara Peninsula, is a dream destination for fishing enthusiasts of all levels. With its pristine waters, rugged coastline, and rich marine life, the area offers a variety of fishing opportunities , from peaceful shore angling to thrilling deep-sea adventures on Kenmare Bay.
Whether you're an experienced angler or a curious first-timer, you'll find something to suit your style. Boat fishing is a popular choice, allowing you to venture further out into Kenmare Bay where pollock, mackerel, cod, and even the occasional skate await. You can also enjoy shore angling from several scenic spots along the coast — perfect for those who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground while casting a line into the Atlantic.
For a truly memorable outing, why not charter a boat with a group of friends or family? Half-day and full-day charters are available and are a great way to combine fishing with sightseeing. Take in the stunning views of the Caha Mountains, Seal Rock, and even spot dolphins or sea eagles as you sail the bay. Your skipper will usually supply the necessary equipment and guide you to the best fishing spots.
