Bundoran Beach is located in County Donegal, just 250 metres off Bundoran town's Main Street. It is a very popular surfing spot and attracts visitors from near and far.

Bundoran is a sandy beach facing Donegal Bay and the Atlantic. With Bundoran’s Main Street only metres away, there are lots of activities to get involved in and many amenities within walking distance, including cafés, restaurants and hotels.

The beach is very popular with surfers, but beginners are advised to be aware of the rocks and reefs, which can be very dangerous, so it is advisable to check with locals.
