The beautiful crescent shaped beach at Ventry is a European Blue Flag Beach. This was the scene, according to folklore, where a great battle took place between Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the King of the World. Fionn had visited France, and abducted two Frenchwomen, the daughter and wife of the King. The French King assembled a huge army, which included the King of the World, and headed for Ireland to reclaim his women. The battle raged for a year and a day, after which no soldier from either side was left standing. This was the battle that ended the great Irish army of warriors, Na Fianna. Blue and Green Flag Beach Awards take place each year in early June.
