Portnablagh
About Portnablagh
Portnablagh is a sandy, harbour-side beach on Sheephaven Bay, right beside the little harbour and a short hop from Dunfanaghy. Sheltered by the curve of the bay, it is a calm, easy beach for families, with the working harbour and boats adding to the setting. It sits on the same stretch of Sheephaven coast as Marble Hill and Killahoey, both a short drive away, so the three beaches make a natural day of beach-hopping around Dunfanaghy.
