For kayaking and paddle boarding, always try to arrive on time and in your swimwear so you can spend as much time out on the water as possible.
Don’t forget waterproofs and something warm to put on, just in case! But also don’t forget the beach gear as well, so you can while away the time relaxing on Maghery Strand.
There is ample free parking available so you do not need to worry about getting back before a parking ticket expires.
Bring a picnic and make use of the numerous picnic benches that are located all around Maghery, allowing you to relax and take in the stunning views.
Time your visit with the Maghery Community Centre Café that is open during the summer from July to the end of August. Opening hours are from 10am until 5.00pm. The Maghery Chippy operates on Friday evenings throughout the year.
The Strand View Bar in Maghery is an excellent local pub that is the perfect place to unwind and meet the locals after the day’s activities. It is family and pet friendly. The recently opened Strand Barista serves excellent coffee, ice cream and treats.
Maghery is one of Donegal’s hidden gems, but we’re easy to find if you know where to look! There is plenty of parking available both at the community centre and by the pier where our water activities operate from, so getting here by car is easy.

Had a great coastal sea kayaking experience with Chris from Maghery Coastal Adventures today. 3 of us and a group family of 5 also. Chris showed us all the safety requirements of kayaking and gave us a helmet and life jacket. We headed off touring the Maghery coast and saw jellyfish herons and mackerel jumping out of the sea! Chris was very informative and told us about the local flora and fauna and local history also. I would highly recommend this tour and had great fun and enjoyment doing it.

We had a guided kayaking session with Stephen on Tuesday the 6th July. It was absolutely brilliant. Stephen was fantastic with our smallies (12 & 10); there were challenges, races, gorgeous Donegal scenary, and even a curious seal watching us. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours. Thanks Stephen.

I’ve been going on holiday to the Maghery area all my life, and this is the first time I’ve been out on the water. My 2 kids and I really enjoyed the kayaking with Stephen. Was a great instructor who also made it fun along the way. I would definitely recommend it!

Had a great evening paddle boarding at high tide in early August, 7-9pm. Instructor Joanna was fab and led us around the bay seal spotting. Highly recommend.

Myself and 3 others did Kayaking during our time in Donegal a few weeks back with the instructor Michael. The instructor was very knowledgeable of both the sport and the surroundings. He was really sound also which made the experience very enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend the company and the instructor any more. Thanks!
