Two Donegal beaches have made it into the prestigious Lonely Planet’s Top Ten beaches in Ireland.
Both Ballymastocker Bay in Portsalon and Trá Mór in Dunfanaghy.
The travel publisher named the top ten of best beaches to visit.
Eight of the ten beaches were along Ireland’s west coast.
Well-known travel writer Fionn Davenport described Ireland’s coastline as “a beachgoer’s paradise”.
Ballymastocker Bay is already a very well-known beach around the globe after it was voted the second most beautiful beach in the world by Observer newspaper readers.
The arrival of Dunfanaghy beach Trá Mór onto the list will increase the popularity of Dunfanaghy even more this summer.
