Tullaghan

The most northerly point of the Irish Republic on the Atlantic coast—Leitrim's tiny strip of coastline, a geographic significance more than a destination.

Tullaghan is a thin slice of Leitrim's brief meeting with the sea, squeezed between Bundoran to the north and Cliffoney to the south. The beach runs along the edge of the county, and the fact of it being Ireland's northernmost Atlantic point is the only accolade it needs.

There are almost no services here. A handful of houses, a beach, the edge of the Republic. Come because you want to see where Leitrim touches the Atlantic, not because there's much to do. Honest scarcity—this place exists because geography insists it does.
