Malin Head

At the top of the Inishowen Peninsula is Ireland’s most northerly point, Malin Head. It is not just Ireland’s most northerly point, but also an area of great scenic beauty and of historical, scientific and ecological importance. It is a part of Donegal that is renowned for its rugged coastal landscape and attractive beaches. The area is steeped in history and folklore. Malin Head is an area for all tastes, including walking, fishing, swimming, photography, studying rock formations or rare flora, and it is close to Inishowen’s splendid golf courses. From the minute you enter the Malin Head area via the coastal road, along the north of Trawbreaga Bay, you will find the largest sand dunes in Europe at Lagg. On Knockamany Bens you can view the famous Five Finger Strand, at low tide you can see the wreck of the Twilight, which sank in 1889, on its way to Derry. On a clear day you can see Tory Island to the west.
