Rathlin O’Beirne Island, Donegal’s most westerly point

Rathlin O'Beirne Island is a small island off the coast of County Donegal, less than a kilometre from the mainland in Malinbeg near Glencolmcille. Rathlin O’Beirne Island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and provides panoramic views towards Slieve League and the entrance to Silver Strand Beach in Malinbeg. The island is unihabited and has a lighthouse on it. The lighthouse was Ireland's first nuclear powered lighthouse.

Rathlin O'Beirne Island is known for its rugged and isolated beauty, and is a popular spot for birdwatchers, as it is home to a variety of seabirds, including razorbills, guillemots, kittiwakes, and puffins. It is also a popular spot for fishing and scuba diving. 📸 Kate Slevin Photography

A visit to Rusty Mackerel in Teelin after would be just the tonic! The bar and restaurant is renowned for its traditional music and warm, friendly atmosphere.

‘Silver Strand Horseshoe Beach’

Malin Beg, Glencolmcille, County Donegal, Ireland

What more could one say about the Silver Strand Beach other than it’s simply one of the most stunning beaches you could ever lay eyes on. Certainly one of Ireland’s finest horseshoe beaches, complete with its surrounding natural sea grass landscape. Located on the extreme western point of rural Donegal, far away from the everyday bustling of congested towns and traffic jams.

On arrival you are still extremely high above this cove which was carved deep into the surrounding bedrock throughout millions of years of wave erosion. There’s a steep 174 stepped path leading down to this dreamy beach. An experience your mind will never forget walking down and an experience your legs will never forget from climbing back up them 😅 Great for both your body & mind.....

Such a surreal feeling to gaze across our vast Atlantic Ocean (The Pond) knowing that the next stop is America & Canada! Silver Strand is pretty much a little bit of heaven tucked safely away here in Ireland’s side pocket 💚
