Killybegs
Na Cealla Beaga
Ireland’s largest fishing port, with harbor docks full of deep-sea trawlers. Seafood restaurants and the history of hand-knotted carpets are highlights.
Killybegs lies on the way to Slieve League. From the harbor quay you can watch large trawlers unloading their catch at close range. The town’s Maritime and Heritage Centre displays the local famous hand-knotted carpets, which were once supplied to the White House and Buckingham Palace, as well as the history of the fishing industry. Around the harbor you can find fresh fish and chips and seafood restaurants, and nearby Fintra Beach is a good place for a walk.
