Marble Hill Strand
Marble Hill
A shallow, calm sandy beach inside Sheephaven Bay, a popular spot for family swimming, learning to surf and stand-up paddleboarding.
Marble Hill Strand lies in Sheephaven Bay about 8 km east of Dunfanaghy. Its golden sand stretches about 1.5 km, and the shallow, calm water makes it one of the best beaches in northwest Donegal for family swimming. It also holds a Blue Flag. A surf school on the beach offers surfing, paddleboarding and kayaking lessons, and a café is open in summer. To the west it connects with Ards Forest Park, so you can walk along the coast from one to the other. Parking is tight on summer weekends.
