Time to take a breather! Right where the Ring of Kerry takes a bend at the mountain (well, a larger bend than usual), between Caherdaniel and Waterville, you’ll see a pull-off. There, you will find a large parking lot, a statue of the Lady of the Wayside (St. Mary), buses and cars parked neatly, and the most incredible views anywhere on the Ring of Kerry. Looking north, you can see a stone fort amidst the fields and houses. Looking south, you’ll be rewarded with extraordinary views of the rugged coastline. If you’re lucky, the ice cream truck will be parked there. This is a perfect place to stretch your legs, breathe in the fresh sea air, and meet some locals.
