Donegal, it will happen here."

St.
Johns Point is a unique
geographical feature of Ireland's coastline. Jutting six miles
straight out into the Atlantic the peninsula allows access to deep,
clear water and has become a mecca for diving with its abundance of
fish life.
The
Point is famous for its flora and fauna and is renowned for its
rock angling and if you're lucky you can dolphin watch and even the
occasional whale has been spotted within a few hundred yards of the
shore.
At
Slieve League you will find the tallest sea Cliffs in Europe. |
