Dooega Bay Beach

On the south side of Achill Island, along the spectacular Atlantic Drive, is the island’s fifth Blue Flag beach at Dooega. Located on the other side of Minaun (466m) to Trawmore Strand, Dooega is a picturesque fishing village with south-facing views across the Atlantic waters to Clare Island and beyond. The beach here is also known as Camport Bay and the area surrounding it is rich in history, with the remains of two promontory forts located further west of the bay and field systems to the north that are thought to be prehistoric in origin.
