Sneem is a very attractive and lively village located on the spectacular Ring Of Kerry scenic drive, between Kenmare and Waterville. Situated on the northern side of Kenmare Bay, divided into two parts by the River Sneem and overlooked by a range of mountains, the village is memorable for its central bridge, its proudly tended greens and its colourfully painted buildings. Many water-based sports are enjoyed here, at the beautiful Oysterbed harbour, or in the wider expanses of Kenmare Bay. They include fishing, diving, sailing, kayaking, water-skiing and windsurfing, and deep-sea fishing trips and guided tours of the bay are also popular, not least for the frequent sightings of seals and dolphins. Golfers are within easy reach of several fine courses, and horse-riding is available for beginners and experts alike. Visitors to Sneem may like to browse in arts and crafts galleries and markets, walk around the statues in the remarkable Sculpture Park, relax amid exquisite flowers and scents in The Garden Of The Senses, learn about local geology at the Kerry Geo Park, explore the nearby coral beach (one of only two in Ireland) or even adopt a sheep. Sneem welcomes guests with great restaurants, pubs, festivals and events, including the newly popular National Wife Carrying Championships!
