Golden sands in Gweedore

If there was ever a competition for the loveliest beaches, then Co. Donegal’s Port Arthur beach would surely feature among the top of the list. Located to the northwest in the Gaeltacht area of Gweedore, which boasts over 25km of coastline, Port Arthur takes its place among some of the most unspoilt beaches covered in golden sands and surrounded by crystal clear waters that define the Wild Atlantic Way. Once the sun starts to set, Derrybeg - less than 3km away - makes a perfect pitstop to enjoy some traditional music and get chatting to the welcoming locals down the village pub.
