The place
About Portsalon (Magherawarden) Beach
Portsalon beach consists of a sandy beach along the Swilly Estuary, sheltered to the south by the high rocky headland of Knockalla and contained to the north by flat land. On the map, this shore is distinct from Unnamed Natural Shore — Fanad Coast 03, 4. 7 kilometres away in a straight line. These are exposed at times during the tidal phase during the day. Public access is recorded, but the usable shore and final approach can still change with tide, weather and local conditions. Official information lists parking, toilets and seasonal lifeguard provision; check current availability and local notices before relying on them.
