Dingle Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dingle Bay (Bá an Daingin in Irish) is a bay located in County Kerry, western Ireland. The bay runs approximately 40 km (25 miles) from northeast to southwest into the Atlantic Ocean and is approximately 3 km (1.8 miles) wide at the head, and 20 km (12 miles) wide at the entrance. It is flanked on the north by the Dingle Peninsula, and on the south by the Iveragh Peninsula. The River Maine enters the bay at its head.
There are no notable islands within the bay, but towards the head, several peninsulas, in particular Inch Strand, extend a significant distance across its width.
The harbour town of Dingle lies on the north side of the bay.
