|  | Dingle town must be one of the strangest places I have ever been to. The whole tourism industry here is built around Fungie, the dolphin living in Dingle bay. There is boat rides, snorkeling trips, dolphin t-shirts, dolphin jewelry, dolphin everything. |
|  | I was here first in 1990 and there were a few boats chasing Fungie around but not much else. When I came back in 2002 I was surprised, they had built a new marina, there were Fungie tourists everywhere, tourist shops etc etc - the whole place had changed completely. |
|  | When in Dingle you should definitely explore beautiful Dingle Peninsula. Amazing views, scary roads and sandy beaches... you will find all of this here. |

| Pros: | "Breathtaking views, a cute big dolphin and great pubs!" | | Cons: | "On summer weekends this place is flooded by tourists!" | | In A Nutshell: | "One of my favourite places in Ireland!" |
