Hire a pedalo at Portsalon beach


Golden sandy beaches and rolling farmland threaded by narrow roads set the scene in the secluded Fanad peninsula squeezed between Lough Swilly and Mulroy Bay, and leading to remote Fanad Lighthouse. Families can enjoy a day of watersports at picture-postcard resorts such as Rathmullan or Portsalon. Take your pick from spinning for mackerel off a pier, learning to fl y-fi sh for rainbow trout, hire a pedalo or paddle a kayak. If you are feeling energetic, why not saddle up and gallop along the shores of Lough Swilly on the pristine Rathmullan Strand. As you drive around this thrilling peninsula be prepared for delays on single-track roads; your path may be blocked by a herd of heifers and you will be reduced to cow-speed. Don’t forget you are in north Donegal where the motto ‘festina lente’ meaning ‘hurry slowly’ applies and where life moves at an easy pace.
