Murvagh Beach

Murvagh Beach is a long sandy strand at Murvagh Upper Glebe, County Donegal, on Donegal Bay between Donegal town and Ballyshannon. Backed by dunes and forestry, it stretches for a considerable distance and rarely feels crowded even in summer.

It suits long walks, beachcombing and quiet time by the Atlantic, with wide views across the bay. Currents can be strong on this coast, so check local signage and conditions carefully before swimming, and keep an eye on the incoming tide.
