Visiter The Back Strand Beach.

Right on the Wild Atlantic Way lies the magnificent Back Strand Beach, an Irish beach in County Donegal. Magnificent, it offers wild landscapes that change with the tide. A magnificent and exceptional place, rather confidential and little frequented by tourists. A nice beach to lay your towel on or simply stroll along!

Visit Back Strand Beach

A kilometer-long beach

Back Strand beach is not far from the village of Falcarragh, and offers a superb playground for families, couples and friends. It has to be said that you won’t be stepping on any toes there: the beach is gigantic and stretches for miles! The sand is fine and pleasant, ideal for barefoot strolls (and very healthy too!)!

It’s a popular spot for swimming (preferable during the summer for those with a chill). We love its authentic, unspoilt setting: the beach is clean and the scenery magnificent. As for the water, it’s rather cold, but rich in fish: the bravest can therefore equip themselves with a mask, snorkel and wetsuit to go and meet the species of the Atlantic!

Finally, surfers can also enjoy some rather interesting rollers: it’s all a question of weather, of course, but the beach generally attracts lovers of good waves.

As for children, they’ll love sand and its infinite creative possibilities! Castles, digging holes: they’ll be thrilled and won’t want to leave!

In short, Back Strand Beach is a really nice beach for taking in the sights and taking a deep breath of iodine before pushing open the door of a pub!

Parking is available on the beach. Once again, the area is not very busy, and you’ll have no trouble finding a place.
