km

Kenmare River or Kenmare Bay (Irish: An Ribhéar, meaning 'river-mouth estuary' or Bá Neidíneach, 'the bay of Neidín') is a long and narrow bay in south-west Ireland. The bay is enclosed by the Iveragh Peninsula on the north side, and the Beara Peninsula on the south, with most of its shores belonging to County Kerry, except for a small south-western part which belongs to County Cork. At its head is the small town of Kenmare. The bay is a drowned glacial valley with Old Red Sandstone bedrock. There are many small islands within the bay, including Dunkerron Islands, Greenane Islands, Rossdohan, Garinish, Inishkeragh, Illaunamadan, Sherky, Inishfarnard, Illaunleagh, and Illaunslea (Oileán Sléibhe).
