Murvagh Beach is a two-kilometer sandy beach along Donegal's southern coastline, located near the village of Laghy. The Blue Flag-designated beach is a popular site for picnics, offering a sheltered shoreline which is protected from strong sea currents for safe swimming conditions. Lifeguards are staffed on duty at the beach from June through August, making the beach a great family-friendly destination. Extensive sand dune formations are protected as a Special Area of Conservation by the European Union, which are located near the entrance of Murvaugh Forest. Nearby in Donegal, visitors can dine at a number of charming restaurants or stay overnight as a launching-off point for exploration of the Blue Stack Mountains.
