Ballybunion Seaweed Baths

Ballybunion Seaweed Baths continue a north Kerry tradition of bathing in hot seawater and fresh Atlantic seaweed, taken from the shoreline below the town. The seaweed releases its oils in the heat, leaving a soft, restorative soak that has been used along this coast for generations.

Treatments are a calm, unhurried affair and pair naturally with a bracing walk on the strand beforehand. Seasonal opening is common at Irish seaweed baths, so it is worth checking ahead and booking before you arrive.
