Sightseeing
lovely beach and forest walk. forest walk is full of high trees perfect if the weather is bad. The beach is non wave so lovely for a swim. Often the beach is very quiet compared to the more popular Rossnowlagh surf beach. Murvagh beach is really close only 6km from accommodation, follow signs to the golf course.

Rossnowlagh beach is perfect for a long walk or surfing and body boarding with great waves. feel free to ask for my surfboard and bodyboard if you want to give it a go! Really clean sandy beach.
