The town itself is named after Captain Theobald Magee, a notorious 18th-century smuggler who trafficked tea, tobacco, textiles, and liquor through a network of hidden coves into the region.

This outstanding museum details the life of the remarkable men who ventured into the open waters on skin boats to reach the seclusion of the early Christian monastic community on Skellig Michael. This visitor centre will give you a sense of the life and hardships of those monks who once resided on this UNESCO world heritage site.

The Kerry Cliffs rise like a leviathan out of the Atlantic Ocean. Millions of years ago, these majestic cliffs were laid flat forming the ocean floor. As the continents shifted and crashed into each other, this impressive cliff was pushed up towards the sky.

Now, they are home to a myriad of different seabirds including Puffins from the colony on Puffin Island. From here, you also have an unobstructed view of the famed Skellig Islands.
