Failte Ireland has released their list of top ten swimming spots around the country for a Christmas dip and Boyle’s Doon Shore has made the list!
According to Failte Ireland: “Doon Shore is one of Ireland’s ultimate hidden gems, and a perfect spot for winter swimming. This stunning swimming spot treasured by the locals and is unknown to many tourists. Visitors can park up and enjoy swimming in the tranquil waters”.

Despite chillier weather, Ireland’s year-round beauty beckons. Cold-water swimming, walking, hiking, and cycling are popular in all seasons.
