💚💛Tramore Beach near Dunfanaghy, County Donegal. 💚💛
Also known locally as the 'secret beach' a beautiful location!

It is the ideal place to go for some peaceful thinking against the backdrop of spectacular scenery. No easy way to get there, no cars allowed, you have to hike across two kilometres of sand dunes to explore and enjoy this beach!

To reach Tramore head towards Horn Head, and once you cross the long low bridge near St. Michaels GAAA look out for the sign for the nearest Car Park on the left. From the car park walk through the gates and along the tree-lined pathway. Then follow the path for about 30 minutes walking. This will bring you to the beautiful 2 mile long Tramore Beach, a a peaceful and idyllic beach.

Nearby you have beautiful beaches in Kilahoey & Marble Hill in Dunfanaghy and you also have in the other direction Back Strand Falcarragh & Magheroarty Beaches.
