Dingle

Dingle, or An Daingean in Irish, is a town and fishing port on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. It sits at the head of Dingle Bay on the Atlantic coast and forms part of the Gaeltacht, a region where Irish is still spoken widely. The name An Daingean translates as "the fortress," reflecting historical fortifications in the area.

Today, the town's economy combines fishing with tourism. It is a popular base for exploring the peninsula, including the Slea Head Drive along the coast, and visiting the Blasket Islands offshore. The harbor remains active, while the town hosts pubs, shops, and cultural events that showcase traditional Irish music and crafts.

Notable attractions include the Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium and Dingle Distillery, a local producer established in 2012. The area also features archaeological sites and heritage centers such as the Blasket Centre in Dunquin and the nearby Gallarus Oratory. Dingle's landscape, maritime heritage, and language-rich culture make it a distinctive Irish regional town.
