Beaches

There is little that rejuvenates the mind and body better than strolling along a sandy beach listening to the roar of Atlantic waves crashing onto the shore whilst cleansing your lungs with salty ocean air. Inishowen has a myriad of beautiful beaches to choose from including Culdaff and Stroove which have been awarded the coveted ‘Blue Flag’, meaning that they are clean, safe and ideal for swimming.

Culdaff and Stroove beaches are also DISCOVERY POINTS on the Wild Atlantic Way, testament to their beauty as hidden gems to explore. Inishowen has seven other DISCOVERY POINTS; Inch Island, Lisfannon Beach, Dunree Head, Pollan Bay, Kinnagoe Bay, Magilligan Point View and Inishowen Head, as well as the spectacular Malin Head which is our SIGNATURE POINT waiting to be discovered by you on the WAW.
