Asdee’s Hidden Gems

Littor Strand

Littor Strand is a lovely, family-friendly, Green Flag beach, which stretches for miles along the Estuary into the adjoining Beale Beach.

Littor strand is popular with families and walkers, given the open space, stunning sunsets & views along the Shannon Estuary, which is home to Ireland’s only resident pod of bottlenose dolphins.

The beach plays host to numerous migrant waders and resident species of birdlife, including Oystercatchers, Curlews, Dunlins, Seagulls, Brent Geese, and Ringed Plover.

Given the beach is located close to the Atlantic coast, we are treated to some spectacular, unspoiled sunsets during the year.

Also, with the vast, sandy beach at low tide, it is an ideal location for dogs to enjoy their own little bit of heaven on earth.

The Shannon Way Trail

The Shannon Way Walking Trail gives a picturesque view of the Shannon Estuary. Stretching from Cnoc an Óir to Tarbert, the trail gives stunning views of North Kerry, Clare, Limerick, and even as far as Galway on a clear day.

The Asdee River

The Asdee river rises on the hill overlooking the village, close to the Shannon Way, before meandering downstream through the village and into the Shannon Estuary.
