Maghera Beach & Caves
Machaire
A wide, empty stretch of sand surrounded by dunes, where at low tide you can walk into a string of deep sea caves and sea arches beneath the cliffs.
Maghera Beach lies west of Ardara, with Slieve Tooey mountain at its back. The sand is wide and quiet. At low tide you can enter several sea caves along the cliffs at the southern end, but the tide comes in very fast. Visitors have been trapped before, so you must go in and out only around low tide. The currents are strong, so swimming is not recommended. There is a small fee for the private car park.
Opening hours
