Overview
The Magharee Islands (Irish: Na Machairí), also known as "The Seven Hogs", are a group of uninhabited islands located off Rough Point at the northern tip of the Magharee Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The islands, which are part of the parish of Castlegregory, are well known as excellent diving and snorkelling destinations. The Magharees Sound separates the Seven Hogs from the mainland. Scraggane Pier is the nearest landing point on the mainland. The Magharees were an important area of early monastic activity in Ireland, and the Illauntannig Monastic Site is designated as a National Monument with restricted access.
