    Cordal is a nice rural area. It has a school pre-school and after school service. Also a pub and a church.
    It has a good community group there also and would be about 25 mins from Tralee. No public transport of course

    I wouldn't choose Cordal as the amount of rain it gets is incredible. I don't know how many times coming out from Tralee where the sun is shining there and then hitting Castleisland and then Cordal where it's absolutely pissing it. The same has happened coming from Killarney on numerous occasions. I know Kerry get lots of rain in general but the sheer amout of rainfall that Castleisland/Cordal and Brosna get is incredible. I think it may have to do with the fact that all the clouds coming in from Tralee bay don't have any natural obstacle until they hit the hills behind Cordal and just dump all the water there.

    What about Ballyheigue? A beautiful seaside village that hasn’t got the busy summers like Ballybunion.
    Only about 15mins from Tralee too.
    Ballyheigue also has a great beach and I found the local to be super friendly.
    They seem to love hurling in that part of Kerry for some reason also.

    Abbeydorney, Ardfert, Kilflynn, Ballyheigue would be my suggestions as you're close to tralee.
