Rossnowlagh Beach

On the North West Trail

The golden sands of Rossnowlagh are often referred to as 'The Heavenly Cove' and are regarded by many as the most scenic and dramatic beach in the whole of the North West. The Atlantic Coast beach with Blue Flag status is set in a 4km crescent with views of the Donegal Bay Coastline including Slieve League, the highest sea cliffs in Europe.

Cyclists following the North West Trail have the option of cycling along the sands at Rossnowlagh or taking an alternative signed route.
