Muckross Head
Mucros
Layered sandstone sea cliffs and small beaches. It is a famous climbing site, and at low tide you can walk along the rock layers and watch the waves.
Muckross Head is a small peninsula southwest of Killybegs, with a small beach on each side. Its sandstone cliffs are stacked in horizontal layers, and it is one of Ireland’s well-known sea cliff climbing spots. You can walk around the peninsula on the rock platforms, but keep away from the edges when the wind is strong and the waves are high. Parking is convenient, making it a good place to stop on the way.
