There is no more magical spot to go sea kayaking than around Oyster Bay and the Parknasilla Islands. There are numerous families of curious seals around and you will see herons staking out their fishing territories, as well as cormorants, oyster catchers, and numerous other species of bird life. The mile or so east and west of Oysterbed offers everything the sea kayaker could want in the way of scenery and conditions, with barren and tree covered islands and the opportunity to cover a lot of ground in the protected waters of the inshore islands as well island hopping to the uninhabited islands running out to hundreds of meters off shore. Situated on the Northern side of Kenmare Bay, lying between the towns of Kenmare and Waterville, is the picturesque village of Sneem. Resting near the foot of a spectacular mountain range dominated by the 2,245 ft Knockmoyle, this village with its unusual "hour-glass" shape is divided in two by the River Sneem and traversed by a bridge which is the focal point of the village. Located on the famous Ring of Kerry, Sneem provides an ideal base for anyone exploring the Kingdom of Kerry or West Cork. A previous winner of the Bord Failte run "Tidy Towns" competition, the main source of income for this little neat village is tourism. With its immaculately kept greens, colourful houses and haven of activities, Sneem is a must to visit. Its popularity is reflected by its long list of famous personalities who have visited the village including: Princess Grace of Monaco, Bernard Shaw, Charles De Gaulle, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Charlie Chaplin to name but a few.
