ANGLING & FISHING

Donegal’s clean rivers which are famed for their prolific runs of salmon, abundant sea trout, and wild game fisheries, entices anglers from all over the world. The Atlantic coast offers shore angling while deep sea fishing is also available. With wild and plentiful fish stocks, fully equipped sea angling licensed charter boats, and a wide range of stunning locations, Donegal is the ideal place for the catch of a lifetime.

DIVING

Donegal is a must for all diving enthusiasts. Our county’s coastline is awash with the most beautiful and spectacular dive sites. Divers of all grades will find something to suit them  across both boat or shore diving. The more experienced diver will be able to tackle most of the many wrecks which lie around the Donegal coastline, especially in the northwest region, but there are plenty of options for those with less experience also.
