Kenmare Heritage Centre, Kenmare, Kerry runs a seasonal tourist information service.

Kenmare town is a vibrant tourist destination and it’s best to book accommodation and restaurants in advance to avoid disappointment. It’s not uncommon to see groups of forlorn visitors wandering the streets trying to find a good restaurant that isn’t booked out.
