Dingle, Ireland

Dingle, Ireland
The wee town of Dingle is located on the Southwestern coast of Ireland. It is a quaint little fishing village located on the picturesque Dingle Peninsula.

Dingle is well located for those looking to explore the Dingle Peninsula, a place known for it's  breathtaking vistas and unmatched coastal quaintness. On our first night in town, we hit it off with another American couple and ended up spending the next day touring the Peninsula together. The weather was absolutely fabulous on the day we drove around the Peninsula and we felt super lucky to have met our new friends who had the forethought to rent a car.

Half way through the drive, we pulled over and followed a little sheep path up the hill for some spectacular views of the Ocean.  While I am pretty sure we were trespassing on someone's land,  nobody seemed to mind a couple of eccentric Americans hiking in boat shoes.
