About the harbour

Automatically summarised text: Automatically summarisedvia web search · 30 September 2026

Dunfanaghy Harbour is a small historic stone quay in Sheephaven Bay on the north coast of County Donegal, built around 1831 a short distance north of the centre of Dunfanaghy village. The quay was originally built to export corn and is today a protected heritage structure still in use.

Note that the harbour dries out completely at low water, and the bay is fully exposed to swell from offshore - for this reason the quay is not recommended as an anchorage or a stop for visiting yachts. In summer, small craft may find only temporary anchorage in the bay in settled offshore winds, but staying overnight is not advised. A slipway lies to the north-east of the pier.

At the harbour itself there are toilets, though open only during daytime hours, and an outdoor water tap on the wall nearby. There is also parking on the old harbour area overlooking the estuary.

It is a short walk to Dunfanaghy village centre with its pubs, the old market house from 1847, the former workhouse - now a famine heritage museum - as well as a golf club and several art galleries. Take a stroll up into the village to enjoy the atmosphere of this small historic harbour town, while keeping in mind that the quay itself is not suited for an overnight stay.
