THINGS TO DO IN THE LOCAL AREA:

• Beaches: Nature has blessed Kerry with a wonderful number and variety of beaches, several of them just a short drive from Fenit. The vast expanses of Banna to the north and Derrymore to the west are hugely popular. Likewise Ballybunion and Maherees, where the delights of sea and sand are augmented by a diversity of entertainments and seasports. The bonus is that many of the county’s beaches have safety and cleanliness endorsement in the form of European Flags.  Resident lifeguards have been installed at Maherees, Banna, Derrynane, Ventry, Inch, Ballybunion North and South, Ballyheigue, Fenit, Ballinskelligs, White Strand (Cahirciveen) and Rossbeigh. The Kerry people are very proud that Kerry has more Blue Flags (14) than any other county. Note, by the way, that Fenit Marina also boasts a Blue Flag and is one of only four marinas in Ireland with the distinction.
• The Aqua Dome: one of Ireland’s largest indoor waterworlds, is a marvellous complex of pools, slides, waves and rapids. Whether it’s a quiet paddle you want or the wild excitement of being swept away in a whirlpool, the Aqua Dome is a treat for all the family. Nor do you have to get wet to enjoy the place. Aqua Golf, an 18-hole themed miniature golf course located alongside the Aqua Dome, is a great game for all ages.
• Dining out: There are lots of great pubs & restaurants in the locality, The Tankard just outside Fenit serves great food in its restaurant with panaramic views over the bay & it also has great bar food. Phone:066 7136164
• The Rose of Tralee Festival: The Rose of Tralee International Festival
  It said by many that Tralee is best known for the Rose of Tralee International Festival which takes place every year in August. It is one of Ireland’s premier flagship festivals where people come from far and wide to enjoy the best in Irish and international music acts and also enjoy events such as parades, an amazing fireworks display and nightly seisiuns.
• Golfing: “Champion Courses in a Splendid Setting”
  The Kerries Golf Course, on the Spa Road, a lovingly created parkland course with a dramatic backdrop of the Sliabh Mish Mountains and Tralee Bay. A well-drained course that is playable all year round, it features large sand based greens that are a pleasure to putt on. With the addition of a new clubhouse, restaurant and wine bar, The Kerries offers “a complete day out”.The Arnold Palmer designed Tralee Golf Club’s 18-hole course at Barrow, just outside Tralee, is Tralee’s best know course. Perched on the edge of the ocean, the setting of island, sea and mountain provide a magnificent backdrop to the game. Further along the coast, Ballybunion boasts two courses – the Old Course and the Cashen. The Old Course is consistently ranked as one of the world’s top 10 and golfers like Jack Nicklaus love to come to play here. American President Bill Clinton has enjoyed it too. US Open and Masters champion Tom Watson describes Ballybunion as his all-time favourite, “the best in the world” and “a true test of golf”. Ballyheigue offers a beautiful 9-hole course, its greens stretching below a ruined 18th century castle looking out over Tralee Bay. Ardfert also has a 9-hole course sited in undulating parkland, and there is a PGA qualified instructor a hand to help you perfect you game. It is easy to be distracted by the splendour of the surroundings as you play, but recollect that under an ancient law all golf balls lost in Barrow are forfeited to Geoffrey de Clahuill, to whom King John made a grant “forever” of local wrecks.
• Walking & Hillwalking in the surrounding valleys and hills.
• Tralee town is just a couple of miles away, complete with shops, restaurants cinemas and pubs.

Now the Tralee – Blennerville section has been restored and visitors can experience the sensation of travelling by steam train from Tralee to Blennerville during the summer season. Once you reach Blennerville, you may visit its famous Windmill. This unique 201 year old restored windmill houses an acclaimed audio-visual exhibition of Irish milling history and features working millstones. Exhibitions on the history of bread-making in Ireland and on the Blennerhassetts, founders of Blennerville, are also on show.

Siamsa Tire has represented Ireland all over the world and is the showpiece of the Celtic culture of music, mime, story and dance.
• Kerry County Museum: Kerry County Museum, housed in the Ashe Memorial Hall in Denny Street, provides a fascinating guide to the archaeological riches and heritage of the county. Your tour of the museum is complemented by a visit to the Geraldine Experience, which takes you back in time to Medieval Ireland. Visitors can walk through the re-created streets, houses, abbey and castle of medieval Tralee. Special sound, lighting and odour effects help to make this an almost life-like experience.
• Kingdom Greyhound Stadium: If you want a night out full of colour, excitement, and excellent food, all in lavish comfort, Tralee’s ultra-modern Kingdom Greyhound Stadium is the place to head for.

You bet!
  Horses: “The home of Great Horse-Racing”
• Kerry comes alive to the thrill of horseracing for the Guinness Ireland Group sponsored six day festival meeting at the end of August and the Whit weekend in June. The cream of the Irish track gathers in Ballybeggan, Tralee, in hopes of finding champions like the great Dawn Run who won her first race here before going on to take the Champions Hurdle and Golf Cup at Cheltenham.
• Fishing: Its right on your doorstep while staying in Fenit & there are few things more satisfying than time spent on the edge of water. The sea is open to everyone while rivers are managed by clubs who provide permits at reasonable rates.  The season runs from 1 March to 30 September, and the sea or Fenit’s angling boats will take you further out. The west point of Kerry Head is a feeding ground for mackerel that come in from August on, and there are wrasse and pollock here and on the southern side of the Head. Ballybunion is especially good for turbot from May to late September and when the main beach is busy you can cross by the right-of-way through the Golf Club and onto the strand. Tralee Bay Angling Club holds competitions here in summer. You can take a rod onto Fenit pier, and two miles west of Ballyheigue, on the Kerry Head road is another pier which offers safe fishing.
