About Dooey Beach

Dooey Beach is a long, sandy west-facing strand in south-west Donegal, near Lettermacaward. It catches plenty of Atlantic swell and is one of the quieter Donegal spots simply because of its location.

The beach works on W to NW swells with E offshore winds. Mid tide is best. Remote — bring everything you need.
