The Beara Peninsula (Irish: Béara) is a peninsula on the south-west coast of Ireland, bounded between the Kenmare "river" (actually a bay) to the north side and Bantry Bay to the south. It has two mountain ranges running down its centre: the Caha Mountains and the Slieve Miskish Mountains. The northern part of the peninsula from Kenmare to near Ardgroom is in County Kerry, while the rest lies in County Cork.
Beara is a colloquial name for the area which, while geographically defined, actually straddles two county administrations and is not used officially by any civil administration or by An Post (the Irish Postal service).Beara Peninsula is one the best tourist attractions in Ireland.
