Kinnagoe Bay is steeped in history and beauty
Kinnagoe Bay on the Donegal peninsula of Inishowen in the north of the county is a long sandy beach backed by a steep green hill. The view from the road above over the the bay is stunning and quite overwhelming. The secluded bay is truly a hidden County Donegal gem.
Cliffs surround the beautiful beach and just above, Valencera Cottage is privilege to one of the most spectacular views in Ireland.
Just offshore lies the wreck of La Trinidad Valencera, one of a score of the ships of the Spanish Armada that foundered on the Irish coast in 1588. Members of a local scuba club found the wreck in 1971 and some of the treasures they recovered are displayed in Derry's Tower Museum which is approximately 40 minutes from Kinnagoe Bay.
