Slea Head (Irish: Ceann Sléibhe[1]) is a promontory in the westernmost part of the Dingle Peninsula, located in the barony of Corca Dhuibhne in southwest County Kerry, Ireland. It belongs to Munster's province (County Kerry) and is served by the R559 road; the nearest villages are Ballyickeen and Coumeenoole.
Slea Head is together with Dunmore Head the westernmost point of Ireland and arguably is the most western point of Europe[2] of the European mainland plinth.[3] It is a well known and recognised landmark and also a very scenic viewpoint, with a dramatic view of the Blasket Islands.[4] On the 11 March 1982, the Spanish container ship, Ranga, was wrecked at Dunmore Head, close to Slea Head after losing power in a storm.
