Six beaches have also achieved Designated Bathing Water standard: Ballyhernan; Drumatinney; Lady’s Bay; Port Arthur; Port na Blagh; Rathmullan; and Green Coast Awards were awarded to five beaches namely: Ballyhernan; Dooey; Drumatinney; Magheraroarty; Port Arthur.

Donegal County Council continues to make a significant investment in securing the retention of Blue Flags at these beaches. and this involves water sampling, beach maintenance, provision of signage, toilet facilities and car parking in some cases.

13 beaches in Donegal are currently wheelchair accessible. Lifeguards are employed on all Blue Flag Beaches and at Rathmullan beach over the bathing season.
