There are a few beaches within driving distance.
Waterville is near the village and your nearest beach if you're aching to get into the water.
My favourite, though, is Derrynane - in fact there are three beaches there. It's like a tropical beach - though obviously the air (and the water) are much colder.

In high summer, they can be very busy, but the rest of the time you can have the place to yourself.
Ballinaskelligs is also lovely. There's an old castle and the ruins of an Augustinian Abbey.
