 Incredible Atlantic storms and light shows.

MEALS Breakfast - Biggest breakfast known to man! Lunch- packed lunches arranged with café in town, delivered steaming hot to the beach. Dinner - Mostly in Spillanes bar- the best steak you'll ever have, Irish stew and all sorts of wholesome hearty goodness food. Not to mention the 500 calorie a pint liquid refreshments.
DRINKS & NIGHTLIFE.
Guinness makes you stronger. Mostly classic pub nights with too much Guinness and talking, but a few mad nights in Dingle here and there, in old bars with trad music and occasionally a trip to the local hotel disco and back to your youth… |
 At about 500 calories a pint, Ireland's favourite refresher is ideal after a day in the surf.
