Fenit

Fenit, a small village nestled on the north side of Tralee Bay in County Kerry, boasts a population of around 620 residents.  History buffs will be enthralled to learn that Fenit is the birthplace of St. Brendan the Navigator, honored by a large bronze monument in the harbor area. Legend has it that Brendan may have reached the Americas before Christopher Columbus.  Fenit also serves as the only commercial port between Foynes on the River Shannon and Cork.  Explore the nearby Blennerville Windmill, a historic landmark offering guided tours and insights into traditional milling techniques.  While Fenit itself doesn't have extensive nightlife options, Tralee, just a short distance away, offers a vibrant scene. Head to The Castle Bar, a popular spot known for good company and drinks.
