The drive up to Gortmore from Downhill is exciting to say the least. Low gear and a very steep road with blind bends make it a road to be careful on. Eventually it is worth it when you reach the viewpoint. There are stunning views over to Donegal, up Lough Foyle towards Londonderry and down the North Coast as far as the Giants' Causeway. Even on a warm calm day at sea level the wind at Gortmore is keen and cool.

Perfect beach, great qulaity sand and sand dunes. free to park on road, can walk down to good cafes and toilets. Lifeguards on duty. Ideal for surfing and families. Perfect if sunny, recommend windbreakers if picnicing. Great scenery and cloud formations. Would definately recommend - our favouite beach of the week's holiday along that coast. Next door Downhill Strand is also great and had the added bonus of being able to park on the beach next to the ice cream van!
