If you don’t fancy Bundoran’s beaches then the West End Pool is a very good alternative.

This is a large sea water pool, situated below an attractive coastal path. The pool has good depth and plenty of room.  There are steps down from one side.

Don’t be put off by the photos, humans can swim in this pool too!  There is also plenty of space to sit and look out across the clear blue sea (when it isn’t raining that is).

Access is down steps and then across the flat, large rocks. Not wheelchair or buggy accessible.
