About Tullagh Bay

Tullagh Bay is a north-facing beach on the Inishowen peninsula, north Donegal. It catches the same N–NE swell window as Culdaff and the other Inishowen north-coast spots — useful when the standard west-coast W swell isn't running.

Works on W to N swells with S offshore winds. Mid tide is best. Remote — typical Inishowen.
