check out the local fish and chips shop for a great meal after a day at the beach; it's tasty and won't break the bank. i recommend the cod!

Don’t miss the promenade walk before sunset. The views are stunning, and it’s a peaceful way to end your beach day without spending a dime.

Don’t skip the nearby trails. I think they’re just as stunning as the waterfall and much less crowded. Just be ready for a bit of a hike to really catch those amazing views

I recommend bringing some cash to pay for parking. There are some nice spots nearby, but they only take cash. Didn’t expect that and had to drive around looking for an ATM!

It can get pretty rainy in Killarney, so don’t forget to pack a rain jacket! I learned this the hard way when it started pouring and I had no cover. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.

I learned the hard way that parking fills up quickly near popular spots. My advice is to use public transport or park at less crowded areas and walk a bit. You'll save time and hassle!

Check out the feeding times for the animals. We stumbled upon a giraffe feeding session, which was amazing to watch and totally worth the wait!

Arrive right when the park opens at 10 AM. It’s way less crowded then, and you can enjoy the animals without the rush and hustle of bigger crowds later in the day.

Bring your own snacks and drinks! They allow you to picnic in certain areas, which can save you a good bit of cash on food inside.

I think you should bring a light jacket, even in the summer. The cave is much cooler inside than outside, and I was freezing partway through the tour.

If you can, try to visit around 10 AM. The best part is having fewer crowds and getting to take your time looking at everything without being rushed

I recommend taking the scenic route up to the cave. The views along the way are breathtaking and you're gonna want a few photos – trust me!

Definitely wear comfortable shoes! The cave floor is sometimes slippery and rough. I thought I'd be fine in my sneakers, but I wished I had worn my hiking boots.

Don’t forget to bring your own towels and beach toys as rentals can be pricey. I paid way more than I expected for just a couple of beach items so bringing your own saves money.

If you’re planning to surf, check the tide times first. The waves can be different based on the tides and it can be frustrating not knowing when the best times to catch waves are.

Bring a light jacket! I didn't expect the wind to pick up in the afternoon. It can get a bit chilly even on sunny days, so be prepared.

My advice is to pack a picnic! The beach cafe can get pricey, and there are some beautiful spots to settle down with your own snacks. I regretted not bringing my own food.

I suggest checking the surf forecast before heading to Ballybunion. I found the waves to be awesome on Wednesday morning around 9 AM, but pretty flat the rest of the week. Saved me from disappointment!
