One of several
islands in the Rosses, Cruit still has a small resident population
which is added to by visitors keen to enjoy the beautiful beaches
and wonderful walks which abound. It also has an excellent 9-hole
golf course which makes every use of the natural contours of the
coast to provide both a test of golf skills and spectacular views at
every turn. About 3 miles in length and 1 mile at it widest point,
Cruit lies roughly north-south along the Donegal coast and is
connected to the mainland by a bridge so that you can literally
"drive across the Atlantic". Cruit, moreover, is a tidal island so
that when the tide is out twice a day you can walk across a golden
stretch of sand ("Cruit Strand") to the mainland. This rising and
falling of the tide adds considerable interest as the views of the
bay between Cruit and the mainland change continuously. A road runs
the length of the island from the bridge at the south to the north
end with a few branch roads leading to the houses on the island. A
pier lies on the more sheltered east side providing moorings for a
cluster of small boats during the summer months.
