Kerry Head is a headland located in County Kerry, Ireland that stretches into the Atlantic Ocean just north of Banna Strand. On the southern edge of the headland sits Ballyheigue.
Kerry Head separates the Shannon Estuary, on the North side, from Tralee Bay on the South side. Dolphin-watching is possible from the areas around Kerry Head.
The headland is also one of the points marking the extent of Shannon Foynes Port, the port on the estuary.
Famous quotes containing the words kerry and/or head:
“He’d gone to great expense
Keeping all the Kerry men
Out of that crazy fight;
That he might be there himself
Had travelled half the night.
How goes the weather?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“His eyelids droop, his head falls low,
His old eyes cloud with dreams;
The sun upon all things that grow
Falls in sleepy streams.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
