Silver Strand, Malin Beg
An Trá Bán
A horseshoe-shaped bay of white sand, surrounded by cliffs, with about 170 steps leading down to the beach. The water is bright blue.
Silver Strand is at Malin Beg, at the western end of Slieve League. The bay is surrounded by green cliffs, and the view from above is the most beautiful. The car park is on the top of the cliff, and steps lead down to the sand. The climb back up is steep. The sea is clear but icy cold and has undercurrents, so do not swim without a lifeguard. It can be combined with Slieve League and Glencolmcille on a day trip.
