Dunquin Pier is a small, picturesque pier located near the village of Dunquin (Dún Chaoin) on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. It sits at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, below steep cliffs, providing dramatic views of the surrounding coastline.

The pier is historically significant as the departure point for ferries to the Blasket Islands, which were inhabited until 1953. From here, visitors could travel to Great Blasket Island to explore its abandoned village, learn about the islanders’ way of life, and enjoy the remote natural beauty of the Atlantic.

The area around Dunquin Pier offers spectacular scenery, with rugged cliffs, crashing waves, and panoramic views across the ocean. It is a popular spot for photographers and walkers alike, especially for those interested in the history and culture of the Blasket Islands.

Access to the pier is via a narrow winding road from Dunquin village, and visitors are advised to wear sturdy footwear due to uneven surfaces. The pier and surrounding area are often windy and exposed to the Atlantic weather.
