Marble Hill

Marble Hill sits at Portnablagh, County Donegal, on the shores of Sheephaven Bay in the north-west of the county. It is best known as a sheltered sandy strand with a long-standing reputation for swimming and watersports, set against the headlands and hills of this stretch of coast.

The bay’s relatively protected position makes it popular with families and with those trying water-based activities for the first time. As with any Irish beach, check local conditions, signage and lifeguard arrangements before entering the water.
