Ballyhiernan Bay Swimming Forecast

Eelburn · Ireland

Ballyhiernan Bay scores 75/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces N. A remote, 2.5 km north-facing sandy beach on the Fanad Peninsula, divided into three bays by rocky headlands, rarely crowded. Within a Special Area of Conservation, the break gives lefts and rights suited to surfing, windsurfing and paddleboarding, best on a north-northwest swell with offshore southeast wind, most consistent in autumn. No lifeguard cover. Rocks at the headland margins are a hazard -- keep to the main sandy section for entry/exit.
