Waterville

Waterville (An Coirean, "The Little Whirlpool") lies some 40mi/64km west of Kenmare on the narrow strip of land between Lough Currane and Ballinskelligs Bay. The abundance of fish in the local rivers and loughs and in the sea makes this a popular center for both freshwater and sea fishing.

From Waterville two lonely and beautiful minor roads, which later unite, traverse the middle of the Iveragh Peninsula and then descend to Killorglin. The more southerly of the two passes a number of loughs well stocked with fish.

To the west of Waterville there are good beaches in Ballinskelligs Bay. Across the bay is the village of Ballinskelligs.
