Doogort is an attractive, sandy beach which is well sheltered by impressive Slievemore mountain at one end. The water here is clear and fresh , with a nice sharp feel to it when we there last in June. It isn’t too steep as you get in so it appears to be a good spot for children.
There are grassy areas behind the beach for shelter along with space for parking and a couple of picnic tables.
At one end the beach is buggy accessible and wheelchair accessible with an effort
Check with Mayo County Council regarding lifeguards over the summer. There is a lifeguard hut but no one was on duty when we were there in early June.

Directions
