The Number
of visitors in Beara is limited compared to the numbers visiting the Ring of Kerry.
Main
reason, because the coastal road are very narrow at a number of location,
prohibiting access by busses and campers. Total length along the coast
estimated at 265 km.

The Beara peninsular is extremely rich in sites of
historic interest, early development of the human species. The area dotted with
wedge tombs, stone circles, alignments and gallauns, from Dursey Island to
Garnish and Bere
Island.
When
hiring a car it is not advised to mention the Ring of Beara, might have to pay
more or even difficult to get insurance.
The
situation is aggravated by the decision of the local counsels to reduce the
cutting of hedges, scrubs and trees due to financial worries.
May visitor
are arriving just to have a look at this sub-tropical flora, abundantly around.
Once a
year the rally of Ireland, better known as the rally of the lakes is run.
All road
blocked for at least 4 hours, farmer removing their cattle to higher located
fields, helicopters scramble to accident sites. You wonder how long this rally
can be sustain when you look at the damages to cars. Local collecting lost and
damaged parts afterwards. The most dangerous rally in the world.
