About Rathmullan Beach

Rathmullan beach consists of a sandy beach in Lough Swilly, which is confined by Rathmullan pier to the South and runs up past Kinnegar to the Glebe outcrop to the North. Rathmullan beach supports a wide variety of plant and wildlife species including otters. 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.
