Rossnowlagh Beach (Donegal)

Rossnowlagh beach is just over a 3 km stretch of sand backed by sand dunes and cliffs.

The beach faces westward to the Atlantic Ocean and Donegal Bay funnels the Atlantic rollers making this a popular beach for all standards of surfers, bodyboarders, windsurfers, and kitesurfers.

Facilities at the beach include car parking on and off the beach itself, seasonal lifeguards, and nearby you have pub, cafes, hotel, shops and post office.

Rossnowlagh Beach is a Blue Flag Beach.
