Five Finger Strand at Malin Head, with Trawbreaga Bay in the background.

Picture of Malin Head

Malin Head, in County Donegal, is the most northerly point in the island of Ireland. It lies at the top of the Inishowen Peninsula, jutting out into the wild North Atlantic as though it were a look-out guard warning of what storms were approaching from the west. In fact, it plays that role in a very effective way with an Irish Meteorlogical Service station based there, and any Irish person listening to the weather forecast will inevitably hear of Malin Head, particularly those with an interest in fishing and farming.

At the most northerly tip of the head you will find what is know as Bamba's Crown on which sits a tower built in 1905 as a Lloyds Signal Station. This was used as an important news link between Europe and America at the time before modern communications made it obselete.

On a good day the rugged scenery is magnificent and will take your breath away. On a bad day, with gale force winds and driving rain, it could take your life away. The full spectrum of the forces of nature are displayed here. On a clear day you can see Scotland from Malin Head and locals swear that it is the official sunniest place in Ireland!
The area offers a host of tourist related activities such as golf (5 courses alone on the Inishowen Peninsula), fishing, birdwatching and spectacular beaches and scenery. The pubs, hotels, guesthouses and restaurants extend a traditional warm Donegal welcome. Irish music sessions and caint agus craic are always available.

If you are coming from Dublin the most
direct route is through Derry City. And if you miss Malin Head then you're next stop is Greenland!
