5 miles from Ballyshannon gets very busy in the summer with all sorts of surfers and some kite flying. Soft sand in places. If you want peace and quiet then park at the car park away from the hotel at the other end of the bay with lots of room. Beach can disappear at high tide. Also the surfers bar! Rossnowlagh beach is beautiful, approximately 2 miles long with firm smooth sand. The beach is ideal for kite buggying. The beach is accessible to cars and can get quite crowded so watch out for sunbathers, pedestrians and vehicles. However, during the summer a section of the beach is cordoned off. Also to note is that the tide comes in quite far and once it reaches a certain point it comes in quite quickly. Around the headland, is the Manor House beach which is quieter and not accessible with cars. Access is through the Manor House caravan park. You can park your car in the Manor House car park.
