Málainn Bhig (Malinbeg)
The EPA does not monitor this beach for bathing water, so there is no water-quality record. Check locally and follow the signs before you swim.
Tucked at the edge of a village by the same name, Malainn Bhig (Malinbeg) is a unique secluded bay surrounded by high cliffs. Visitors can take in the bay from the shores of the beautiful Silver Strand.
Look out on the water from the horseshoe-shaped cliffs, or head down a long and winding path of steps to the spectacular Silver Strand. Head for a peaceful walk and take in views of the Atlantic and the cliffs of Slieve League to the south-east.
