Awesome views looking down to Portsalon beach and town. Take care not to let it distract you on the fast descent!

This viewpoint along the spectacular coastal road offers a more intimate perspective on Ballymastocker Strand. As you cycle or walk down (or up) the flanks of the Knockalla Mountains, this is the perfect spot to truly experience the scale of this enormous sandy beach. You are looking straight across the Magherawarden dunes towards the distant contours of the Fanad lighthouse. The colours of the bay – from deep blue to crystal clear turquoise – are beautifully showcased at this height against the backdrop of white sand.

This is an absolutely glorious stretch of road. There is a small car park here which is worth pulling into to really appreciate the view. Some say it is the best view in Ireland.
