Welcome to Europe’s cold water Indonesia

Friday, 19 Sep, 2012 0

Bundoran, in Ireland’s County Donegal, has received a listing as one of the top 20 surf destinations in the world by National Geographic.

The magazine recommends the rugged northwest corner of Ireland’s long Atlantic coastline for "the salty surf traveller who doesn’t mind surfing in cold water or rain".

The centuries-old fishing village catches just about any swell that powers across the North Atlantic onto beaches and reefs that suit different levels of surfers.

Ireland’s most famous reef break, The Peak, is also a Bundoran resident.

The town of Bundoran offers a choice of surf shops, surf schools and a wide range of accommodation to stow the board and rest the head, from budget options to luxury hotel rooms with an ocean view.

Over the last two decades Ireland has become a mecca for surfers.

It has been described by National Geographic as ‘Europe’s cold-water Indonesia’.
