Spectacular two-mile stretch of golden sand backed by 6,000-year-old dunes, with loads of space for paddling, bodyboarding, sandcastles and long family walks. Unusually, families can drive and park directly on the beach, making unloading all the beach gear much easier. Explore the dune and estuary trails, spot wildlife and enjoy views towards Mussenden Temple and Inishowen. It’s also an Inclusive Beach, with accessible facilities and a free beach-mobility equipment loan scheme available to pre-book.
