Ballybunion or Ballybunnion[2] (Irish: Baile an Bhuinneánaigh) is a coastal town and seaside resort in County Kerry, Ireland, on the Wild Atlantic Way, 15 km (9.3 mi) from the town of Listowel. The famous Castle Green divides the two main beaches, with the Ladies Beach on the right and the Mens Beach to the left, names given to the fact that both sexes swam on separate beaches on the orders of the local parish priest, who walked it daily ensuring the rule wasn't broken. Further to the left of the Men's beach lies the Long Strand, a 3.2 km stretch of golden sand, overlooked by the huge sand dunes of Ballybunion Golf Club. It boasts two golf courses, the famous Old Course and the new Cashen course, it is a top class Links course founded in 1893 and host course to the Murphy's Irish Open in 2000 and Palmer Cup in 2004.

According to the Central Statistics Office, Ballybunion had a population of 1,854 in 2016.
