The Kerry Cliffs rise over 300 feet (about 90 metres) above the Atlantic, making them among the highest sea cliffs in Kerry.
Composed mainly of Old Red Sandstone and siltstone, they formed over 350 million years ago.
Their current shape was carved by glaciers during the last Ice Age, leaving sheer faces and deep inlets.
The cliffs support large seabird colonies including guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, and kittiwakes, nesting each spring and summer.
Privately owned, the site now features viewing platforms and walkways for visitors.
On clear days, there are distant views of Puffin Island and the Skelligs.
The cliffs are a Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Point and one of South Kerry’s best-known natural attractions.
