#TopBeaches - Kerry dominates TripAdvisor’s list of the best Irish beaches for 2019, with the Kingdom taking six of the top 10 places.

Ladies Beach at Ballybunion (9th), Coumeenoole (6th), Derrynane (5th) and Inch Beach (3rd) all make return appearances in the travel website’s selection, with Rossbeigh (8th) making the grade for the first time.

Past favourite Banna Strand is the most popular of the county’s sandy stretches — but this year plays second fiddle to another popular destination for TripAdvisor users, Inchydoney in Co Cork.

Strandhill in Co Sligo at 4th and Lahinch in Co Clare complete the top 10 along with Portmarnock in Co Dublin, the only East Coast entry, as Independent.ie reports.

Lambs Week Regatta on Galway Bay

With a theme of accessibility, Lambs Week was devised to celebrate the unique sailing grounds of the West of Ireland. 

It comprises five days of sailing around Galway Bay and the Aran Islands.

Big boats, small boats, fast boats and slow boats are all welcome.

The fleet, which totalled 46 for the first edition in 2021, takes in three beautiful harbours of Ros aMhil, Cil Ronain and Cloch naRon, each keen to offer a warm welcome to the competing sailors. 

Organisers Galway Bay Sailing Club match similarly rated boats to see who can get the best out of the conditions for a 'Sail in Company'.  A Pursuit Challenge around the islands for both competitive and non-competitive boats is also held.
