Glenlough Bay is located at the north-western tip of the Slievetooey peninsula in County Donegal. Magnificent with its 2km pebble beach, rocky outcrops and cliffs, it is also a dream location for professional climbers. The bay is teeming with possibilities, between its proximity to Tormore Island and its various rocks several dozen meters high!

Although it’s a magnificent and majestic location, Glenlough Bay beach is far from ideal for a family swim. It has to be said that the beach is essentially pebbled, and the ocean can sometimes be quite rough (lots of rollers, and the proximity of rocks makes it a dangerous beach for swimming).
Nevertheless, Glenlough Bay is well worth a visit. Firstly, because of its impressive setting, but also because the rocks co-exist with the ocean, towering over it at dizzying heights.
In short, this bay has the merit of being atypical and very different from other Irish bays. The place is wild and inhospitable: it’s not uncommon to come across seals and penguins enjoying the beach. Not to mention the impressive number of seabirds nesting in the rocks!
Last but not least, it’s a popular spot for professional climbers, who regularly come to test themselves against the rocks, just as they do at the summit of Tormore Island. Don’t try it if you’re a novice: it’s a perilous and dangerous climb!
