Donaghadee

Beach & coast Down

Checked July 2026

Donaghadee is situated on the Ards Peninsula, approximately seven miles north east of Newtownards, on the Irish Sea coast. The town boasts a long seagoing history, therefore it is not surprising that it still maintains a special relationship with the sea, proving very popular with water enthusiasts, anglers and those who simply like to be beside the seaside. There are a wide variety of cafes and restaurants and unique independent retailers. There is a strong tidal flow between Donaghadee and the Copeland Islands so it is recomended to swim within the Harbour and bay area. Shore Surface: No Information. Paddling: No Information.
