Fintra
About Fintra
Fintra is a sheltered Blue Flag beach a few kilometres from the fishing town of Killybegs, a horseshoe of golden sand framed by green hills. Calm, clean and gently shelving, with summer lifeguards, it is among the safest swimming beaches in south-west Donegal and a firm family favourite. Tucked into its bay off the coast road, the setting is as pretty as the water is clear.
