The websites about Waterville all say some version of:

Waterville ( An CoireÁn) "The Little Whirlpool", is the premier coastal tourist centre of South West Kerry and on the Ring Of Kerry. It has attracted many famous celebrities down through the years including Charlie Chaplin and his family. Waterville nestles between Lough Currane and Balinskelligs Bay, where you will find mountains and lakeland with the added advantage of the sea on your doorstep.

The unique climate is aided by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and this enables you to enjoy the Waterville region all year round. Waterville is renowned for its game angling and its 18 hole championship golf links but it also a paradise for the hill walker, cyclist, pony trekker, ornithologist, archaeologist, sea and shore angler, water sport enthusiast and indeed for the general holidaymaker.
