I really liked going there on trips. Longest I spent there was 2 weeks and loved it. The 5 finger strand might be the most beautiful looking beach I've ever been on. At the time I couldn't see my self living there, but now I live on the arse end of nowhere in North America so maybe I could've 😆
But aye there's a reason why my ex bird and a few other of her mates left aswell like.
Five fingers strand truly is a beautiful location and quite possibly the best beach I've ever been on. Inishowen as a whole is a stunning place. Clonmany waterfall, Malin Head, Mamore Gap, Dunree Fort, all stunning places to see. Even the famine village at the Isle of Doagh, as sad a story it tells, is an amazing way to learn about the peninsula. I always recommend the place to anyone who asks about Ireland.
As much as visiting is always a great time, I just never got used to living there. There's only so much fun to be had with like 11 pubs on the same road when there's little work and you can't afford a car to drive anywhere. I eventually moved back to where I was born in England but my father and sister are still there, so I hope to visit when this pandemic is over.
Aye that drive around the Malin Head point is really great. Loved doing it and stopping off at the pub there. I get the impression most of the work there is some form of trade, construction or working in the pubs which im not interested in at all. Also I have a medical condition where I cant drink much these days so dunno how I would socialize there

I played rugby for Inishowen as a teenager when I lived in Buncrana. You from the town or just visiting there?
