The nearby beaches at Portnablagh (7 km), Marble Hill (7.5 km) and Dunfanaghy (9.5 km) are visually magnificent and some of the best in the country being very popular amongst swimmers, surfers, bathers and walkers.
In terms of connectivity, there is a local bus service McGinley's which is a cross country service that connects directly to Dublin Airport and Dublin City from the village of Creeslough. Donegal Airport (45 km) offers local connections within Ireland and Scotland and the City of Derry Airport (77 km) offers flights to UK destinations and onwards.
