Tranarossan Bay
Although a visit to Tra Na Rossan is fairly straightforward, there are a few need-to-knows that’ll make your visit that bit more enjoyable.
1. Location
You’ll find Tra Na Rossan in one of County Donegal’s more remote spots, near the northern end of the Rosguill Peninsula on Donegal’s north coast. It’s a 10-minute drive from Downings, a 30-minute drive from Dunfanaghy and a 40-minute drive from Letterkenny.
2. Parking
There’s a reasonably-sized car park (considering its location!) at the end of the nearest road leading up to the beach (here on Google Maps). Just keep in mind that this is one of the more popular beaches in Donegal during the summer months, so the car park fills up fast.
3. Swimming
Although we’ve tried (trust me!), we can’t find any official information about whether or not it’s safe to swim at Tra Na Rossan Beach. It appears that there’s no lifeguards on duty, though. So, either keep your feet on dry land or ask around locally.
Thanks to its unique location between those imposing rocky hills on either side, Tra Na Rossan has its own character and looks a little different to Donegal’s more popular beaches.
On the slopes of these hills grow lush green fern, wildflowers & purple bloom heather, while the sand is soft and golden.
Tra Na Rossan looks out towards a small island in the bay, but beyond that, it’s just the wild expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean.
In fact, due to its remoteness, northern location and lack of light pollution, you might even get a glimpse of the Northern Lights in Ireland while you’re there!
