Donegal Coast
Ireland's untamed northern coastline of Europe's highest sea cliffs and empty Atlantic beaches.
Donegal's coast is Ireland's wildest frontier, a magnificent stretch of Atlantic shoreline in the country's northwest where Slieve League's sea cliffs tower 600 metres above the ocean, pristine beaches remain blissfully uncrowded, and a Gaelic-speaking culture endures in Europe's most dramatic coastal landscape.

- Pristine empty Atlantic beaches
