Beara Peninsula in Ireland

The Beara (pronounced bear-a) peninsula is one of four peninsulas which jut off the extreme southwest corner of Ireland into the north Atlantic ocean. It is partially divided between County Cork and County Kerry. Mining and fishing and an excellent harbor seem representative of major activities on Beara.

In his extensive 3-volume "The Annals of Beara" Riobard O'Dwyer has documented names and family history of many of the Beara locales and families.
