Between Ballyshannon
and Donegal lies Rossnowlagh with one of Ireland’s most beautiful
stretches of beach - miles of golden sand enclosed by gentle hills.
Belalt strand, more commonly known as Rossnowlagh strand is one of
the finest in Ireland, and in recent years has become very popular
with surfers not only from this country but from all over Europe and
elsewhere in the world. It faces west towards the Atlantic, an
expanse of not quite golden sand stretching some 3 km from north to
south. The Sandhouse Hotel is located adjacent to the beach, with a
Surfers Bar attached. Overlooking the beach and on the cliff is the
Smuggler's Creek Inn restaurant and bar, and there are several shops
in the area, along with a Post-Office and Shop near the Franciscan
Friary as well as The Thatch Tea House nearby. The Franciscan Friary
is located up from the southern end of the beach. The Friary has a
Visitor Centre and contains the Donegal Historical Society Museum
which houses a small collection including stone age flints and old
Irish musical instruments. The Friary also has beautiful gardens
which are open to visitors. To the south-west further along the
cliffs in the distance stands the ruined Kilbarron Castle which is
accessible via Creevy. |
