Ballymastocker Beach — Attraction in undefined

A true gem! There are many beautiful beaches scattered throughout County Donegal, but this one is a cracker! Sand-dunes roll down onto an open expanse of golden sand, and rocky outcrops point their craggy fingers outwards to meet the Atlantic. Mountains rise and fall in the distance, while seabirds nosedive into the ocean in search of prey. This secluded beach is off the beaten track (so even when it is 'busy' you won't be tripping over too many fellow visitors) allowing you to kick back & soak up the atmosphere. Great for kids too as there are plenty of nooks and crannies and rock pools to explore. On a sunny day, you would be hard pushed to find a better beach anywhere....

Beautiful and quiet. There's a secluded little cove area that's perfect for sitting with a book. There's bathroom facilities that are surprisingly clean and well-stocked. The beach itself is pretty clean and I didn't even run into any unlifted dog poop, which is a shock. Of course there's always someone who wants to ruin places like this and last time I was there I found a campsite that was littered with beer tins and crisp packets, but on the whole most seem to tidy up after themselves and even on sunny days this beach is relatively empty...

You'll pass a lot of other just as good if not better beach's in Donegal before coming to this one. On the plus side there's no height restrictions to the carpark, but camping and caravaning isn't aloud. You can't see the sea from the carpark because of the height of the sand dunes. When you do get onto the beach then there's is a nice view of the rocky mountains across the sea. There are toilets, but like most of the others in Donegal they are not...
