Bundoran
About Bundoran
Bundoran is Ireland's original seaside resort and a Blue Flag beach on the south Donegal coast, where the town's promenade, amusements and surf culture meet a broad sweep of Atlantic sand. Lifeguarded in summer and close to the famous Tullan Strand and the Rougey cliff walk, the main beach offers safe, supervised swimming, while some of the country's best-known surf breaks lie just along the shore. A lively, family-friendly base with everything on the doorstep.
