Is Kenmare Ireland a good place for a family holiday?

I'm thinking of taking my family on holiday to Ireland in July, we have never been before, i've been looking at the area known as The Ring of Kerry, and was wondering if Kenmare would be a good base, is there plenty of things to do? are there any decent beaches close by? (we will be driving), i have 4 kids ranging from 5 to 13,please help.

Can anybody help

Someone please reply to this lady
