Bundoran,
Ireland- Surf
As
the Stormriders Surf Guide says “Donegal Bay is one of
the few places in Europe to warrant the title ‘a
surfer’s paradise’”
Our
accommodation is based in the seaside coastal town of Bundoran.
The houses are right on Tullan
Strand – one of the most consistent
beginners waves in the country. It is the perfect place
to start, and is great for intermediates with a perfect
wedge appearing off the cliff.
Further
north is Rossnowlagh,
said to be the first beach ever to be surfed in Ireland back
in the 60s. It’s a perfect place for beginners
and intermediate surfers to polish there skill. Don’t
forget to have a drink in the legendary Surfers
Bar before you leave!
In
the centre of Bundoran town is The
Peak, arguably Ireland's best wave. Numerous World
and European surfing
competitions have been held here, it’s a perfect
place to watch the locals rip it up.
