Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Gorgeous beach with stunning views! I'd recommend parking at the wee chapel and walking down to the beach, it's about a 10 minute walk. There is parking further down the lane but hard to turn. Go for a lovely long walk or sit and enjoy the beach! However it isn't safe for swimming due to dangerous rip tides.

Beautiful beach and spot to reset. A good walk from the main parking area so depending on mobility I would try to head up and get a little closer. Also just to be careful of the stone way down to the beach but it really was beautiful.

What a beautiful beach and stayed for the sunset 🌇 With the most highest dunes in Europe. Best sunsets in Donegal. If your travelling near Malin Head, this beach is a must visit. I highly recommend this beauty 😍

One of the most hauntingly beautiful beaches in the whole of ireland sheltered by high cliff edges that rise 500ft.The cliff edges are dangerous and not for the faint hearted which makes this area a paradiseto explore.It is possible to drive to the top where there is parking allowing you to take in breathtaking views and to continue on to malin head Irelands most northerly point. .Inishowen is full of history and has one of irelands oldest free standing celtic crosses namely st.patricks cross churchtown Ballyliffen road.Carndonagh. the beach itself is worth walking across to the bar mouth estuary isle of doagh where strong currents are most evident.trabreaga bay meaning beach of lies has dangerous currents.

Visited this beach Sep 7th.2014 and it was lovely. I'm writing this review to let visitor know that if you visit this beach there is only enough parking for about 5 or 6 cars.You will have very little room for turning for the return journey.There should be a sign somewhere telling visitors about the lack of parking.

This must be a hidden gem in county Donegal as every time we go there are very few people there. This makes it a lovely quite and peaceful place for a walk along the strand. The sand dunes are massive and a sight to behold. There are beautiful views out to sea.
Warning: do not swim in the sea here! There are so many signs warning of the tides and strong currents that could kill you but still I saw people out swimming - be safe and stay on the sand or just paddle at the edge.

Five Fingers Strand is one of many beautiful and peaceful spots on the Wild Atlantic Way in Donegal. It's got big sky, a long, clean sandy beach and rolling waves. Perfect!

Five Fingers Strand has to be one of the most spectacular beaches in the area as the size of the sand dunes are outstanding! There are panoramic views in all directions, but best to make your way there when the tide is out as there's so much more to see then. It's at the entrance to Trawbrega Bay on the western side of Malin Head on the Wild Atlantic Way.

Beautiful, unspoilt coastline. There's a bit of a walk from the parking area but it was worth it for the views and pristine sands.

Visited this beach lots of times over the years when we're in Ireland, one of my favourite beaches (but not for swimming as there are dangerous tides). The scenery, sand dunes and wildlife are all amazing. Take a drive up Inishowen 100 to Knockamany Bends and look down onto the beach- breathtaking.
