Listowel Municipal District: Ballybunion Castle
Ballybunion Castle occupies a cliff-top promontory on the Atlantic coast of County Kerry in Munster. Its surviving tower is a 16th-century remnant above Ballybunion’s main beach, a long sweep of sand bordered by rocky outcrops and sea cliffs. The town extends along the Kerry shoreline, where the coast continues north towards the Shannon Estuary. Ballybunion developed as a seaside resort in the 19th century and is also known for its two links golf courses. Compact yet unmistakable, the castle marks the point where the town’s streets and seafront meet the open Atlantic.

It takes its name from Listowel, a market town associated with writers John B. Keane and Bryan MacMahon, whose work drew closely on Kerry life. Listowel Castle, a surviving 15th-century Fitzmaurice stronghold, is a defining historic landmark. The Feale reaches the Atlantic through Cashen Bay, linking this rural inland area with the coast.
