Amenities on your Doorstep
The main amenities of Portsalon village are literally next door to the holiday accommodation. The Pier Restaurant offers good food with great views. Underneath the restaurant is a Watersports Shop where kayaks, pedalos and wetsuits can be hired – it also sells ice cream and soft drinks. Next door is the renowned Stores Bar which serves bar food and has entertainment during the holiday season.
Portsalon Golf Club
You won’t need your car to play a round of golf at Portsalon Golf Club – the clubhouse is a few minutes walk away. Not only is Portsalon a magnificent test of golf, its setting is truly breathtaking. The golden sands along Ballymastocker Bay and the majesty of Lough Swilly and the Inishowen Hills beyond provide the backdrop for almost 7000 yards that will enthral and challenge any golfer. Redesigned in 2001 by Pat Ruddy, dune lined fairways, cannily placed bunkers and well protected greens are the hallmark of Portsalon. You will wonder then, why there are no crowded fairways or difficulty arranging tee times and why green fees are so very, very reasonable.
The Fanad Peninsula
Portsalon is located on the Fanad Peninsula. This ruggedly beautiful peninsula contains numerous bays, glorious beaches, rugged mountains, rolling hills and numerous small lakes.

The holiday home is 9km from the coastal village of Kerykeel and the Rockhill Holiday & Activity Park which features climbing walls, water walkers, slides, rodeo bull, bungee trampolines, indoor cars, soft play areas and loads and loads of bouncy castles.
Just outside Rosnakill (6km) is the Meadows Trout Fishery - a two acre stream-fed fishery which offers the opportunity for anglers to enjoy some first-rate fishing for rainbows.
Surfing
Located on the northern coast of the Fanad Peninsula is Ballyhiernan beach (10km). This beach is the location of the Adventure One Surf School - the leading ISA approved school on the north coast of Donegal. It runs regular surf camps during the holiday season.
