Doonbeg - Surf Lessons & Rentals

Doonbeg, 15 minutes South of Spanish Point, is a small fishing village. The present-day village formed around Doonbeg Castle, which has a fascinating history of fighting and intrigue. The ruins of the early 16th century castle tower over the Doonbeg River shortly before it reaches the sea and are located next to a six-arch hump-back stone bridge that marks the central point of the village. Built circa 1820, the bridge has a direct link with the Great Famine having served as a temporary refuge for two families in the 1840s. Located 2km to the south of the village is Doonbeg Fort which provides evidence of ancient settlement in the area.
