Dingle harbour allows for safe anchorage, and is a centre for flatfish and lobster fishing. The town is the most westerly town in Europe, and grew up round a medieval fortress.

The Mount Brandon (923 m/2,954 ft) area of Dingle Peninsula is rich in monuments of great antiquity, including beehive-shaped stone huts, pillar stones, stones inscribed with ogham characters, chamber tombs, earthworks, and ring forts.

Dingle had political and trade connections with Spain during the Elizabethan period. The town received a charter in 1685.
