Inch Reef

Recently voted as one of the Top 10 Best Waves in Ireland by Irish surf magazine Tonnta, Inch Reef is the jewel in Kerry’s surfing crown. About half a dozen times a year you will see line upon line of waves stretched to the horizon like corduroy trousers eventually peeling into stunning long rights with rides often lasting as long as 300-400m.

Park your car about half a kilometre along the R559 from Inch Strand and find your way down the small track in the cliff side. Entry and exit into the water can be very tricky and some prefer to ride the wave all the way into the beach and run back up the road.

Works on a southwest swell and the bigger the better. Can be very fickle as its quite exposed to the winds and be on the watch for strong currents.
