There are a number of outlying islands along the Kerry coast, accessible by ferry in most cases or by land bridge in the case of Valenita Island. The Blasket Islands are a cluster of nine sandstone rocks rising from the Atlantic and lie approx 6Km off the coast of the Dingle Peninsula. Some of the islands were populated but the last permanent residents moved to the mainland in the 1950’s and now they are mainly home to a rich wild life and some interesting pre historic remains. The Skellig Islands lie approx. 12Km off Ballinskelligs on the Iveragh Peninsula. These two rocky out crops have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and boast some stunningly preserved Early Christian ruins not to mention a rich birdlife.
