Benone Strand

Benone Strand is one of Ireland's longest beaches with golden sand backed with majestic cliffs offering panoramic views to Inishowen, the North Coast and Scotland. This Blue Flag award winning beach is popular throughout the year and is host to a range of activities and events including shore angling, power kiting and body boarding. Benone Strand is the perfect place for a walk, to build a sandcastle or even just to relax and take in the view. One of the largest dune systems in the UK and Ireland, the beach and dune land are recognized as having European importance and are part of Magilligan Special Area of Conservation. Explore this fascinating spot at your leisure via the boardwalks through the dunes or look for the variety of shells that can be found on the beach after a storm.
