In the graveyard are several interesting stones, probably the most noted one is known as the Bishops stone, this odd shaped stone has been altered and reused several times, originally thought to have been a carved figure similar to those on nearby White Island. Another stone with a lot of history is the large slab standing west of the bishops stone, one side of the stone bears at least twelve cup-shaped hollows, see image above right, which suggest this maybe a multiple bullaun stone/cup marked stone that has been reused as an early Christian cross slab, as on the obverse face is a Greek cross in a circle with a bifurcated stem. Situated south of the bullaun stone is a holed stone, as the image shows this stone is half embedded in the ground. Immediately to the West of the holed stone is a broken 1.2 metre high stone pillar. This stone may have been damaged. http://www.megalithicireland.com/Killadeas.htm

The beach at Bonduran is popular with all the amenities you'd expect at a town bay, including lifeguards, amusement arcades and a funfair if you have some young cyclists with you. It is regularly used by surfers which makes a great spectacle to watch.

The Wishing Chair is carved out of stone and sits overlooking wonderful views of Donegal Bay. If you want to follow in the footsteps of the surfer Kelly Slater and make a wish, there is an information board closeby which tells you how to do it properly. The naturally eroded bridges were once thought to be the home of fairies, hence their evocative name.
