Watersports
Watersports are in abundance with pleasure trips of Kenmare Bay to see the seals and other stunning wildlife. Canoeing, windsurfing, sailing and water-skiing are all available within a short walking distance of town. You can learn to dive with a PADI course or charter a motor yacht for the day to tour the coastline.
Call into Killmakilloge for a pint of Guinness with lunch, and on a hot summer's day, a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the bay is glorious.
Golfing
Both the Kenmare Golf Club and the Ring of Kerry Golf and Country Club offer a challenging game over their 18 holes. We have negotiated preferential rates at both these courses for guests of Pairc an Callan.
There is also a very enjoyable local pitch and putt for families.
Equestrian
Exploring beautiful countryside by horse is a stimulating experience and Kerry offers a variety of options enabling you to wind down and enjoy life at a leisurely pace. The geography of the area and its amazing diversity of landscapes are ideally suited to horse riding throughout the entire year. Mountain trails, gently sloping hillsides, forest paths, deserted beaches, all compete in popularity. There are many riding centres & stables, which can meet the requirements from the beginner to the experienced horse-master alike.
Fishing
For quiet, peaceful days with the rod, there are many lakes and rivers to tackle available locally which holds great stocks of a wide variety of fish including salmon, brown trout, bream, tench, rudd, roach, hybrids, eels, pike and perch. The coastline of Kerry has prominent shore angling waters and quality of deep sea angling off this coastline is very good.
