Beaches

The closest beach to my house, this Blue Flag golden sand beach is a safe, clean and a family friendly place to go. There is a children's playground, a sea sauna, 3 beaches, a coffee van (ice cream if its sunny) and within easy distance to the main village which has shops, pubs and take aways. The Caravan Beach is where all the surfers and swimmers hang out. Camper vans welcomed but they must park at the large car park by the football field.

A bit off the beaten track, but a real favourite for locals and visitors. Note that this has zero facilities...just a small car park.

Amazing cliffs and wide open beach. Considered a dangerous beach due to strong currents and very high sand dunes. Great for walks and games. Not for swimming or surfing. Stop off here on your way to or from Malin Head.

Another expansive and quiet beach. Located in the village of Ballyliffin it has car parking, coffee van and kids playground. Ideal for surfing. Can be quite wild given its position. Ballyliffin has lots of eating out options.

Be warned it's first come, first served...summer ques can be VERY long. But you can go on foot and hang around Rathmullan for the day. Another great option. Only operational in summer so please check dates on their website.

Grianán of Aileach is probably the best known monument in Inishowen, County Donegal. Situated on a hilltop 250m above sea level the view from the stone fort of Aileach is breathtaking. The Stone Fort of Grianán of Aileach sits on a hilltop, 250m above sea level, the stone fort was probably first built on an earthen rath. The view from Aileach is breathtaking. The glistening waters of Lough Foyle and Lough Swilly are clear, as is the form of the entire peninsula. A windy and exposed place, Grianán has been a silent witness to the history of Ireland.
