Maghery Beach

Highlight • Beach

Maghery Beach is a long, quiet beach on the west coast of Donegal, enclosed between low dunes and the open Atlantic Ocean. From here you look out over the rocky islands and the rugged coastline towards Crohy Head. The beach feels wide and empty, with only the sound of the waves and the wind sweeping over the dunes.

Crohy Head Sea Arch

Highlight • Natural Monument

Crohy Head Sea Arch, locally also known as The Breeches, is a striking coastal formation on the rugged cliffs southwest of Dungloe. The arch seen from the cliff is actually the Bristi Sea Stack, one of several natural arches carved out here by Atlantic erosion. The silhouette — a narrow, tall rock with a hollowed-out passage — forms one of Donegal's most recognizable coastal sights. The surroundings consist of steep grassy slopes, dark rocks, and open views towards Maghery and Arranmore.
