Port Arthur
About Port Arthur
Port Arthur is a sheltered Green Coast beach at Derrybeg in the Donegal Gaeltacht, a small, calm bay popular with local families. Quiet and unsupervised, it offers gentle, sheltered water and an easy place to relax away from the busier strands, with the Gaeltacht villages of the coast close by. Its modest, protected setting makes it a pleasant, low-key stop on the Wild Atlantic Way.
