Whether you’re visiting with family, friends or just travelling solo, there’s a wide array of attractions and activities to keep you occupied in the idyllic seaside town nestled at the southern tip of Donegal.

You may not want to be that active when you get here and we’re the perfect spot for some “me time”. Enjoy a casual stroll along the famous Roguey cliff walk, West End walk or feel the sand between your toes on Tullan Strand or our Main Beach. Sit and enjoy a summer sunset and breathe in the fresh sea air or make a wish at the Wishing Chair whilst marvelling at the natural Fairy Bridges.



You can also avail of our new walking tour which leaves the Tourist Office at the Bridge each Thursday morning at 11am. The one hour tour gives a brief history of the town from railway to music to military, surfing and more.

One of Bundoran’s flagship attractions, Waterworld is celebrating its 28th season and is now open daily for the summer season! There’s plenty of fun for all the family at Ireland’s premier indoor aqua adventure playground while next door, the Bundoran Seaweed Baths provide the ultimate relaxing way to spend some time with freshly harvested seaweed direct from the Atlantic Ocean.
