About Ballybunion
Ballybunion is a lively seaside town on Kerry’s north-west coast, overlooking beaches and the Atlantic near the mouth of the River Shannon. It has a strongly seasonal feel: summers bring holidaymakers, golfers and beach visitors, while winter is quieter and more residential. The town centre provides everyday shops, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs, with a broader choice of services available in nearby Listowel and Tralee. Families are served by local primary education and nearby secondary schools, while the coastline, cliff walks and beaches provide distinctive outdoor amenities. Ballybunion Golf Club is one of the area’s best-known landmarks and attracts visitors from around the world. Bus Éireann services connect the town with Listowel and other North Kerry destinations, while road access is mainly via the N69 and regional roads towards Listowel, Ballylongford and Ballyduff. Ballybunion suits residents seeking a coastal lifestyle, although commuting by car is generally more practical and some leisure and hospitality businesses operate seasonally.
