Glenbeigh is a haven for bird watching as its country-side is so varied in such a condensed area such as: forests, marshes, wetlands, estuary, rivers, coastline, mudflats and uplands.

A huge array of birds winter here as well as a stopover for migrating birds. Glenbeigh is the ideal location as a base for birdwatchers as it's central to the Dingle Peninsula and the Blasket Islands and also the Iveragh Peninsula and the Skellig Islands.
