Loughshinny Beach

Highlight • Beach

Loughshinny Beach is an ideal spot for a beach day or quick pit-stop on a walk along the clifftops. The area doesn't get too much foot traffic as it's only really accessible by car so if you feel like some peace and solitude, this is your spot.

Baldongan Castle

Highlight • Castle

There is a gap in the wall at the road and the gate to the castle is unlocked if you want to walk around it.

From Skerries Historical Society:
The ruins at Baldongan are all that is left of a large castle and church. The castle was built around a large quadrangular (four sided) court. The castle had four square towers at each corner. The church was adjoining the castle.
