Kinnagoe Bay

Cionn na nGabhar

A small golden-sand bay on the east coast of Inishowen, cupped by green hillsides. The view from the road above is the most beautiful.

Cionn na nGabhar has a small, refined sandy beach and clear water. In 1588, the Spanish Armada ship La Trinidad Valencera sank here. The road down to the bay is very steep and parking spaces are few, so arrive early in peak season. The sea is cold and has rip currents, so swim with caution. It is often visited on the same day as Malin Head and Greencastle.
