It is on the southwestern side of the peninsula, facing onto Derrynane Bay, at a T-junction on the N70 road.
Staigue fort, a stone ringfort (cathair in Irish), is nearby. Derrynane House, which was home to Daniel O'Connell, is also in the area. Copper ore was previously mined in Caherdaniel, the first mines dating back to about 2000 BC.
