There is car parking near the beach making it easy for access and there is usually a life guard on duty. Across the road is Arnold's hotel which has horse riding and if you're able for a bit of cantering there is simply no better place than Dunfanaghy beach. Plenty of golf too for the golf enthusiasts. Dunfanaghy is a great little holiday town and I could happily stay there for a long time, with it's little markets, quaint shops and workhouse museum. Lots of stuff for everyone.

Watched over by lifeguards during the summer months with the very shallow water (even at high tide) and clean well kept shore line makes it perfect for families (and anyone else that enjoys a good beach). It is always a hive of activity with surf schools, anglers, sailors and swimmers all taking to the water. Plenty of sea life roam the waters to keep the amateur marine biologist interested. With all the holiday houses and caravan parks close by it is no surprise that this lovely beach is so popular. It is only going to get busier with the re-opening of the Shannon Hotel. So get there early when the sun comes out otherwise there will be no parking space left!

The park boasts trails from moderate to challenging, beautiful visits, and a historical castle. To start, my family and I traversed the 2.2 mile Lakeside Walk trail from the Visitors Center to Glenveagh Castle to start. A shuttle can drive you there and back for a few Euros. On the way, the seemingly endless valley, lake, and mountain range, quickly eased my memory of the (tense) drive to the park on very narrow roads. The Castle itself costs money to walk through, but walking through the grounds of the Castle is free. The gardens are actively maintained and contain a beauty of their own. The history is fascinating and can be read at the park or beforehand online. After the gardens, we chose to continue along the trail by the lake (Glen/Bridle Path Walk) to view the approximately 120 foot tall Atelleen Burn waterfall on the opposite side, which we enjoyed. The shortest way back to the Visitors Center is same trail. A longer, higher, and more challenging trail (Viewpoint Trail) can also be taken. Walking back through the Castle grounds, we stopped in the restrooms and ordered a gelato and espresso from the truck. Nellie's Restaurant, located within the Visitors Center, offered some good food and beverages options when we returned, thankfully before the 5 pm close time. All told, we spent about 5 refreshing and energy-expending hours at the park, with much of the park left unexplored.
