Tucked away in south Donegal sits the village of Rosbeg. Two beaches, one for surfing and another, nicknamed Little Rosbeg, sheltered by a cove making it perfect for families. The Dawros Bay Hotel is the place to go for food.
Referenced in the first series of Derry Girls, Portnoo has one of the most beautiful beaches in Donegal. The tide also allows access to Inishkeel where the remains of a church originally founded by St Conal lies in ruins.
Less well known than its bigger brother Malin Head, Malin Beg is home to the gorgeous Silver Strand. Perfect for a sunny day at the beach.
