Cromane Beach & Jack's Pub


This is the view from my rocky Cromane beach, which stretches for several kilometres, towards the better known Rossbeigh and Inch Beaches. Far off in the distance, on the right, is the tip of the Dingle Peninsula, tapering towards the sunset.
-
At one end of this beach is one of my favourite Irish pubs, Jack's Bar & Seafood Restaurant. The pub is small, traditional and friendly. Weekend music in the form of one man playing six instruments and a roaring wood fire on the darkening evenings welcomes you inside.
-
The restaurant is superb and excellent service, with views over Castlemaine Harbour and Dingle Bay. It's the upper and more expensive end of an Irish restaurant, but for special occasions well worth it!
-
To get there leave Killorglin on the N70, towards Caherciveen. Approx 3km outside Killorglin take a right turn, signposted Cromane.
-
Keep your eyes open for brent geese, who spend their winters on Cromane beach!
