From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beginish (Beiginis in Irish) is one of the Blasket Islands, County Kerry, Ireland. It is a low-lying island (14 metres) in Blasket Sound, between Great Blasket Island and the mainland. It has a large colony of Arctic Terns. The island is also the main birthing site for grey seals.
The word Beginish translates as "Little Island". There is at least one other island in County Kerry called Beginish: it lies at the mouth of the river Fertha about 1km from Valentia Island. It was previously inhabited but the two houses are now only used in summer.
