Ray River

Highlight • River

Running into the ocean, the Ray River is a pretty waterway that accompanies you to the beach from the car park. The Ray runs inland to the nearby Muckish peak.

Tip by

778 m

When the tide is out (low tide), Falcarragh Beach becomes a vast sandy playground for walkers. Enjoy the beautiful views, but be mindful to leave no trace of your visit and take all of your rubbish away with you.

Falcarragh Beach

Highlight • Beach

Falcarragh Beach's beautiful golden sand and blue water make for a stunning walk. If the weather is nice enough I'd highky recommend a dip in the North Atlantic as well - if you're brave enough.
