This sandy stretch extends 2 kms along Donegal Bay. The water is warm and exceptionally comfortable for swimming in the summer because when the tide moves in, it crosses 1km of hot sand.
The bathing area is shallow, in fact, only deep enough for adult swimmers at high tide. It is the perfect place, however, for parents to relax while their children swim in safety.
There is a large dune area near the beach, extending back to Murvagh forest and its widely scattered picnic areas. In the winter, locals exercise their horses along the shore, while trail bike riders enjoy the challenges of the dunes.
