View of Muckross Head and Inishduff Island

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very beautiful view of Traloar beach. A quiet, secluded bay on the rugged west coast of Donegal, surrounded by low cliffs and clear water. The beach is hidden behind a narrow access road, making it feel exceptionally peaceful and unspoiled.
