Narin / Portnoo Beach

A graphic

Golden-white sand backed by low dunes..

Stretching for over a mile, the golden-white sand is backed by low dunes, beyond which there are a couple of caravan sites that provide a range of facilities for beachgoers.

As a Blue Flag beach you are assured of clean water and safe swimming within the summer months as the beach has lifeguards on duty during the summer.

The views from the beach at Portnoo are panoramic. A little way off the coast of Narin beach is the island of Inishkeel (Inis Caoil). At low tide it is possible to walk from Narin out to the island where you will find the remains of two churches. It is said the island was where the 6th century St Conall Cael founded a monastery.

The dunes along this part of the coast are designated a Natural Heritage Area (NHA) owing to the particularly diverse range of both coastal and terrestrial habitats.
