Outer Tralee Bay is a coastal water body in County Kerry, Ireland, forming the open marine section of the larger Tralee Bay complex. It stretches from Kerry Head across to the northern shore near Castlegregory, encompassing a significant area of the Atlantic coastline. The bay is part of the Tralee Bay Complex Special Protection Area, indicating its ecological importance. For paddlers, the bay's open nature means significant exposure to Atlantic winds and swells, creating conditions that can range from calm to challenging depending on weather. The fetch across the bay can be considerable, making wind direction and forecast critical for trip planning. Fenit Strand is identified as a popular location for kayaking within the Outer Tralee Bay area, providing a potential access point. The bathymetry data indicates deeper waters in the outer bay, contrasting with the shallower transitional waters of the inner bay and Lee Estuary. Subtidal beds of Zostera marina (seagrass) are recorded from Kilshannig Point to off the shore at Castlegregory and at Scraggane Point, which are features of interest for paddlers exploring the underwater environment. The area is also noted as a shellfish area. Given its coastal nature, tidal currents will be a primary consideration. Paddlers should be aware of other maritime traffic, especially near Fenit, which is a noted sailing location. There are no indicated restrictions specific to paddling, but the area's designation as an SPA implies paddlers should minimize disturbance to wildlife.
