Things to do in Bundoran

Why you should go

Ninety seconds on Bundoran

A Victorian seaside resort on the Donegal border that turned into the surf capital of the north-west, with a reef break called the Peak working directly in front of the town. It is unashamedly a holiday town of amusements and chip shops, and the reason to come is the water and the cliff walk on the Rougey. The Sligo and Leitrim mountains stand behind it and the Slieve League road starts north of it.

  1. Mullaghmore to Bundoran Coast Road

    Mullaghmore to Bundoran Coast Road

    Viewpoint · 1 hr

    The R280 running south along the shore under Benbulben and Classiebawn with the swell breaking on the reefs the whole way. It is the link between the Sligo and Donegal ends of the Wild Atlantic Way, and the big wave reef at Mullaghmore Head is visible from the road.

  2. Creevykeel Court Tomb

    Archaeological Site · 30 min

    One of the best preserved court tombs in Ireland, a full oval forecourt and two burial chambers of about 3500 BC, standing beside the N15 south of the town. It is unstaffed and free, takes twenty minutes, and the gate is set back behind a lay-by.

  3. Tullan Strand

    Beach · 2 hr

    A wide sand beach between the Erne mouth and the cliffs, backed by dunes and the sculpture of a hand rising from the rock, with beach breaks used by the surf schools. There are no lifeguards at the northern end and rips run off it.
