Portmagee Seafront

Portmagee is a village in County Kerry, Ireland. The village is located on
the west coast of Ireland, on Kerry's Inveragh Peninsula south of Valentia
Island. Its name in Irish, 'An Caladh', means 'the ferry', referring to its
purpose as a crossing point to Valentia Island. The English name
'Portmagee', or 'Magee's Port', as it was formerly known, comes from
Captain Theobold Magee, a notorious 18th Century smuggler.
