Ever been to any of these?

We might not usually get weather that lends itself to regular trips to the seaside, but Ireland is still home to some of the most beautiful beaches around.

Most of them – at least according to TripAdvisor – are located on the west coast and specifically in Kerry, which once again dominates the list of the top ten beaches in the country.

The Kingdom is home to six of the top ten beaches in Ireland according to TripAdvisor, who revealed their annual travellers’ choice list of the best beaches by country, by region and in the world overall today.

But the top beach in the country in not in Kerry, it’s Inchdoney Beach in Cork claiming the number one spot.

Portmarnock Beach in Dublin is the sole entry from the east of the country at the number ten spot.
