    Beautiful Beach
    Lovely beach if you get the weather! A shirt drove from Tralee or from Ballyheigue or Ballybunnion further along the coast,there's a narrow road down to it and you can park on the beach itself pretty much. There are a few food trucks in the summer but nothing permanent. Parking was available on our visit to the left in the fields by the coast guard. Wide expanse of sandy beach, well kept and beautiful views.

    Beautiful beach
    Beautiful beach, very clean and nice and spacious. Took our dogs for a nice long walk, understandable how it’s a blue flag beach! Grabbed a tasty coffee after! Would recommend to reconnect with nature and natural beauty

    Banna Beach - Golden Sandy beach with specatular waves and panoramic views
    This is my childhood beach where I spent many a summer's day with friends and siblings having fun. I had a recent trip Banna last Thursday & Friday and it is just as beautiful as every. Grab a few photos of Banna as the back drop. Tourists to Kerry should visit this golden sandy beach, have a walk along the sand or pop in for a swim.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful beach, crystal clear water, off lead dog friendly. Although it has numerous car parks, arrive early as it fill up quickly.

Stunning and dog friendly too
Aug 2022 • Family
We love this beach .
It is huge and stunning .
Loads of free parking , brilliant facilities - they have loads of food trucks which even sell vegan food .
Toilets are pretty good for a beach .
Dog friendly too . Our dog loves it .

The only thing against this beach is that it is often quite windy as it is so open which can make the temperature feel lower than it is .

Good for the soul!
Aug 2022 • Solo
I had cause to unexpectedly spend quite a bit of time in Tralee recently as a family member was in hospital there. This led me out to Banna which is the closest beach to Tralee… only about 20 minutes drive. There is lots of parking, even during the heatwave. The beach is very , very long and wide and has nice hard sand suitable for very long walks. There was a small area of the beach supervised by lifeguards . I saw a lot of people surfing and the waves on a few days were perfect for this. Highly recommend!
