Geokaun Mountain ({{lang-ga|an Geocán}}) is the highest mountain on Valentia Island,[2] County Kerry.

Geography

On Geokaun's northern face the {{convert|600|ft|m|disp=flip|adj=on}} Fogher Cliffs ({{lang-ga|an Fhoithir}}) meet the sea.

From the summit there are views of the Skellig Islands, Dingle Peninsula, the Blasket Islands, Beginish Island, Cahersiveen, Portmagee and MacGillycuddy's Reeks, including three of Ireland's six highest mountains: Carrauntoohil, Beenkeragh and Caher.

The summit of Geokaun Mountain is privately owned, and a fee is required to access the mountain via the main track to the summit.
