- 3 Fenit is a picturesque harbour 10 km west of Tralee, which until the 19th century was a major port. In 1588 the Spanish Armada sloop Nuestra Señora del Socorro surrendered here, unable to limp home. The crew were all put to death - a rattled London government had given local sheriffs strict instructions.
- Fenit Island is reached by walking or driving across the sand bar north of Fenit village. It's populated, with a ruined castle, and it's claimed that St Brendan the Navigator (484-577) was born here.
- 4 Ardfert is a village 10 km northwest of Tralee with the ruin of a 12th-century cathedral and two other small churches, open Apr-Sep daily. 500 m east is the ruin of the 13th-century Franciscan friary.
- 5 Banna Strand is a long beach with sandhills 12 km northwest of Tralee. This is where Roger Casement and two others were captured in April 1916, having been put ashore from a U-boat. Germany had sent arms to support a republican uprising, but the arms ship was captured by the Royal Navy, and scuttled off Cobh. Casement had also been involved in recruiting Irishmen within Germany (such as POWs) to fight against Britain, and he was hanged for treason.
- Akeragh is another long sandy strip north of Banna.
- 6 Kerry Head is the headland south of the Shannon estuary, with Ballyheigue the main settlement.
