As an island, Ireland is dominated by water. Lots of attractions and experiences in our Daily Adventure publications are connected to our seas, rivers and lakes. Here, are just a few:

Donegal boasts many Blue Flag beaches and the longest coastline in Ireland. Whether your preference is the panoramic small inlet cove, or an extensive sandy beach, there is lots to explore.
