Banna Strand, commonly referred to as Banna Beach, is a lovely Atlantic Ocean beachfront located in Tralee Bay in County Kerry, extending northward from Barrow Beach to Ballyheigue Beach at Blackrock. The 10-kilometer golden sand beach is backed by gorgeous sand dunes reaching heights of up to 12 meters, which have been designated as a significant conservation area for their abundance of rare flora and fauna. Surfing is popular within the beach's waters, with a surf school located directly on the beachfront offering surfing lessons. Lifeguards are staffed on duty throughout the summer months, making the beach a very popular family-friendly spot. Other popular activities include wildlife watching, including dolphin watching along the bay's waters.
