Murder Hole Beach (Boyeeghter Bay)
Trá Bhá Uachtair
A hidden bay below Melmore Head, where cliffs, rocks and emerald water make one of the most striking beaches on the north coast.
The beach is reached by parking at a private farm and then walking about 20 minutes across dune grassland (parking carries a small fee). The bay has very strong undercurrents, which is where its name comes from, and swimming is strictly prohibited. From the beach you can climb a small hill for views over the whole bay. It is on the Rosguill Peninsula and can be visited together with other nearby beaches.
