Maharees or Magharees (Irish: An Machaire or Na Machairí)[1] is a 5 km long tombolo located on the northern side of the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland.
To the north of the Maharees lie the Magharee Islands or Seven Hogs, the largest of which, Oileán t-Seanaigh/Illauntannig, contains remnants of an early Christian monastic settlement, said to have been founded by St. Senan in the 7th century AD.
The peninsula is a sandy spit for much of its length, with sand dunes giving way to earth and rocky ground towards the northern end.
The sand dunes create a unique ecosystem, home to the rare Natterjack toad which is found locally in significant quantities.
The Brandon Bay beaches are open to the North Atlantic and often receive long swells, suitable for surfing given wind and tide conditions.
