The Kerry Way leaves Sneem via a boreen that gradually meanders its way to the south-west before entering the Derryquin Forest. After crossing the main Kenmare Road, the trail swings round to run in parallel to the road at a lower level. Emerging from the forest, the Kerry Way continues in through Tahilla and once again bisects the main road a little to the north of Coongar Harbour.

The trail is quite level for this stage of the Kerry Way and only experiences minor rises and falls. A little above the main road now, the Kerry Way looks across the bay to the Beara Peninsula and the Caha Mountains to the south. Staying at a consistent distance from the sea, the trail quickly makes its way to Blackwater Bridge where once again the Kenmare Road is crossed and is followed by a further spell through a forested area at Dromore.

The Kerry Way joins the main road for a while near Templenoe which gives the chance to stop off for refreshments at Spillane's Bar. The final stage of the walk introduces a slightly more taxing walk with the gentle ascent over the foot of Letter South and then over the peak of Gortamullin at 205 metres before finally descending into Kenmare.
