Killybegs is a fantastic town in County Donegal in Ireland with a population of around 1,236 as of 2016.
It's the largest fishing port in the country located on the south coast of the county, north of Donegal Bay.
Situated along the coast of the Wild Atlantic Way down Ireland's west coast, it is a popular stop along this stunning route. Famous for its fish, Killybegs is a must see stop along the Wild Atlantic Way for any food lover.
Killybegs is a short drive from the beautiful Fintra beach, a popular family holiday spot and also situated close to Slieve League sea cliffs which are among the largest sea cliffs in Europe with their highest drop of 609m.
Fintra beach is considered one of the safest beaches in Ireland, it is registered blue flag and life guarded throughout the summer season and is popular with day trippers and families.
For any touring family, group or couple travelling the Wild Atlantic Way, Killybegs offers so much things to do and see in terms of spectacular scenery and beautiful food. We highly recommend you stop and breathe the fresh sea air and take in the sights!
The town is situated at the head of a scenic harbour and at the base of a vast mountainous tract. In the summer, there is a street festival celebrating the fish catches and incorporating the traditional "Blessing of the Boats" which we would really recommend.
When visiting the town, there are lots of great pubs, restaurants and hotels to try. If you fancy some amazing locally caught fish, you need to try the Killybegs Seafood Shack and you won't regret it!

I remember the old caravan park in fintra, it was fantastic with the hotel beside it. I think killybegs would benefit from a caravan/camping site close to town again.

Try the Chinese takeaway accross Bank of ireland. Love the seafood fried rice! That's our must have menu everytime we visit killybegs. If you like hunting second hand stuff, the parlor shop near butcher is really recommended:) you might grab a bargain and interesting stuff.

There used to be a bar in a log cabin called "The Crock Of Gold" owned by a certain R&B singer in 1984 and if you saw her while she was there you will know who I mean.

[@gsummy4062]

Who was it?

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

@@gsummy4062 OK I will describe her she wore red slingback high heels, lumberjack shirt and denim jeans and if you have the album Private Dancer and look on the back of inner sleeve then you will see the woman i just described.
