Fanad Head Lighthouse

45 minutes away

One of the great lighthouses of the north coast, with Ballymastocker Bay and its long sandy strand on the way.

Fanad Head is one of the great lighthouses of Ireland’s north coast, standing on a headland where the Atlantic meets the mouth of Lough Swilly.

The drive takes about forty-five minutes, and the route passes Ballymastocker Bay, a long sandy strand worth a stop on its own. Tours of the lighthouse run in season.
