Waterville is a popular seaside destination that looks out over Ballinskelligs Bay. The seafront is lined with a string of pubs, restaurants and accommodation of various types. Behind this strip of land lies Lough Currane which lends its name to the original Irish title of the town - An Coireán.
The unmistakable gait of Charlie Chaplin greets onlookers at the seafront. The statue stands as a memorial to this well-loved regular visitor of Waterville in days gone by. Today, other celebrities can be spotted from time to time in the area after doing a round of golf at the exclusive Waterville Golf Links course.
