The peninsular around Lettermacaward is full of amazing back roads with many hidden gem beaches and lots of fabulous scenery typical of the hills of Donegal, but mostly it offers peace and tranquility and an explorer’s paradise. Dooey Beach is a trek to get to any other way than by bike, but it is worth it: unspoilt silver sand accessible down a rope staircase in the dunes, it’s a favourite location for Aurora chasers. There’s also a surf school for the adventurous.
