ABOUT DINGLE

DINGLE is the jewel on Ireland's Atlantic Coast, where the spirituality of land and seascape defies description and its ethos of antiquity can only be experienced. Its many restaurants offer an unrivalled cuisine with an abundance of fresh seafood. Traditional Irish music is to be heard in many of Dingle's 40+ pubs and you're sure to find a quiet spot too to enjoy one of Ireland's greatest creations... the pint of Guinness. Even without the mention of Fungi, the Dingle Dolphin, Dingle is full of character, but what of it's biggest, character - Fungi. Fungi came to Dingle Harbour in 1983 and has remained since. Playfully guarding Dingle's fishermen to safety along the channel into the Marina, Fungi has become an icon for the town. Tourists can see him by taking boat trips to the mouth of the harbour where he'll delight young and old with his antics, or viewed from land at Sláidín (pronounced Slaudeen), Dingle's quiet beach set against the cliffs of Dingle Bay.

Either by foot, bicycle, or car, the Dingle Peninsula is simply spectacular. If you don't find here what brought you to Ireland, you will journey in vain. Dingle is above all a character place for characters, many of whom came, and, like Fungie, the resident dolphin, never left — that's the danger!
