The pier at Portsalon is one of the most photogenic spots in Donegal. From this historic stone quay, you have an unforgettable view of the famous golden arch of Ballymastocker Bay, once named the second most beautiful beach in the world by The Observer. The pier is the vibrant heart of the village; you'll often see local fishing boats docking here and in the summer it's a popular spot for a refreshing dip in the clear waters of Lough Swilly.
