Coumeenoole [1] is in County Kerry, Ireland.[2] The townlands of Coumeenoole North and Coumeenoole South are in the civil parish of Dunquin in the barony of Corkaguiny.[3] Due to its location on Slea Head, on the Dingle Peninsula, the beach at Coumeenoole Bay is a tourist destination.[4] The area is connected to Dingle, to the east, via the R559 regional road. The 2011 census records no occupied houses in the townlands of Coumeenoole North and Coumeenoole South.[5]
