Kinnagoe Bay
Kinnagoe Bay is a secluded beach in Inishowen, County Donegal, Eire. The beach is accessed by a steep and winding road from the top of the hill which leads to a small car park. It is a much loved natural beauty spot and well visited by locals and tourists alike. It was the inspiration for the song which accompanies this video.

Scenery, Fishing, Lots of History Greencastle Co Donegal
We are doing a lightning tour of the scenic Inishowen peninsula and have reached the fishing village of Greencastle. It is a very interesting spot full of history. fishing boats and fabulous history. We will have to return and check all this out on a better weather day.
Greencastle (Irish: An Caisleán Nua), is a commercial fishing port located in the north of the scenic Inishowen Peninsula on the north coast of County Donegal, Ireland on Lough Foyle. Nowadays, given the decline in the fishing industry, it resembles more closely a 'typical' Donegal holiday village. It is located a few miles from Moville and is about 20 miles from Derry. Greencastle's name comes from the castle in the area, which, in turn, may have derived its name from the green freestone with which it was built. The castle, originally built by the Anglo-Normans, is also known as Northburgh Castle.
There is a circular memorial tribute near the harbour listing the names of all those Inishowen sailing/fishing men who have been drowned over the decades. local men have been lost to the sea in virtually every decade.

Paddling in Kinnagoe Bay, Glenagivney, Co. Donegal
Half an hour of me and my dad pottering around the west side of the bay above the wreck site of the Spanish Armada ship La Trinidad Valencera, not that you can see much of the wreck.
My dad hadn't been in a kayak in the sea for many years, and showed no signs of fear, meanwhile I spent all my time trying not to fall out of my boat.
My dad was one of the City of Derry Sub Aqua Club divers who worked on recovering many artefacts from the wreck site in the 1970s and 80s, many of which are now on display in Derry City Museum.
You can see the BBC Chronicle 1974 film here on YouTube:
Look at the old maps and see how much, or how little has changed:
Filmed with a Nikon AW110. Nice compact waterproof camera, except that it is not that waterproof! The lens kept misting up at the top when used near water, so I took it back and got a GoPro instead. More money, but waterproof.

Fort Dunree Inishowen Peninsula Co. Donegal Republic Of Ireland.
Fort Dunree Inishowen Peninsula Co. Donegal Republic Of Ireland.
Dunree Fort is strategically situated near the mouth of Lough Swilly in an area of stunning natural beauty. It has been attacked many times over the years by nearly everyone trying to get a foothold in Ireland including the Vikings, the Normans, the Gallowglassses, the English, the Germans and the French. In 1798 Wolf Tone was intercepted by the English navy on a French vessel near this location and this incident sparked the British to start building Martello fortifications along the entire Irish and English coastlines. The word ‘Dunree’ in Irish translates to ‘Dun Fhraoigh’ which means ‘The Fort of the Heather’ suggesting that this rocky promontory was always an important defensive location. During WW1, the British moved their entire north Atlantic fleet into Lough Swilly from Scapa Flow in Scotland as it was deemed a strategic and safe location. It was also one of only three ports in Ireland retained by the British until 1938 after the Irish Free State was established in 1921 (the other two being Berehaven and Cobh). The fort is now a military museum which can be accessed by a small bridge over the natural fissure in the rocks.
With LOVE from Kinnagoe Bay
From wherever you start your journey on the Wild Atlantic Way, Kinnagoe Bay is the first or last postcard perfect beach that you will ever discover and explore. When you descend to the beach you will feel as if you are entering into another world, being totally cut off by the sea in front of you and the sheer cliffs on every side. The steep green hillsides surrounding you is covered with low growing mature coastal vegetation that hosts a huge variety of animal life from mammals to birds of prey. The strange and raw power of this special place has its own mysterious magic that have inspired artists for generations. The storms of time have deposited the treasure of the Spanish Armada at the entrance of Kinnagoe Bay, when the merchant ship 'La Trinidad Valencera' of the Spanish Armada, broke her back and fell apart on the 16th of September 1588. The wreck of 'La Trinidad Valencera' was discovered by the City of Derry Sub-Aqua Club in 1971.'
The crystal clear waters of Kinnagoe Bay not only invite the visitor to take a splash but is well known in the scene of scuba divers form all over Ireland who explore the magical beauty of the underwater world of Kinnagoe Bay all year round. Kinnagoe Bay is one of those gorgeous untouched spots that come complete with stunning scenery. It is an example of unspoilt natural beauty and this beach is the perfect example of one of Ireland's hidden Gems. Wind and water have fashioned large steel blue rocks into a collection of sculptures to feast the imagination of everyone encountering this 'Art of Nature' on the golden sandy beach.
