On the north Kerry coast facing the Shannon estuary, Ballyheige has about 724 residents. The village's long sandy beach runs for several kilometres and was the landing point chosen by Roger Casement in April 1916 when he arrived by German submarine to coordinate the Easter Rising. Casement was arrested at McKenna's Fort (Banna Strand) nearby before he could deliver his message, and was later executed for treason in London.
Ballyheige Castle, built by the Crosbies in the sixteenth century and expanded in the Georgian period, was burned during the Civil War in 1922 and remains a ruin on the edge of the village. The castle grounds, with mature trees and a walled garden, are partly accessible. Kerry Head, the peninsula north of the village, offers cliff walks with views across the Shannon to Loop Head in Clare and out to the Brandon Mountain range on the Dingle Peninsula.
