Tucked away among steep, craggy hills, this small stretch of beach offers a mini slice of paradise. Hugged by the wild green hills of Inishowen lies this magnificent secluded beach, with its crystal clear water and beautifully soft fine sand. The combination of the green hills so close to the sand, the clear water, and the beautiful rocks and pebbles make it just magical.

Client testimonials
Top quality, professional and affordable service. Highly recommended. Friendly driver and everything was as promised and more. Thank-you! We will be using you again.
We had the pleasure of Shea driving the bridal party to Redcastle hotel for my friends wedding (after he dropped the groomsmen off). He was an absolute gentleman, even helped the bridesmaids out by holding an umbrella as it was raining and made sure we all got in nice and dry to the stunning seven seater Mercedes car, which was spotless and very luxurious. I was even in the front seat alongside Shea, who we all had a bit of crack with and he certainly helped with our nerves! Thanks Shea for all your help and making the journey to the Redcastle a relaxing and fun for all us ladies and Callum.
Shea did a class job at our wedding and was brilliant to deal with. Would 100% recommend .
Recently arranged transport for friends of mine from Derry Airport to Ballyliffin golf club and back. From start to finish Shea was absolutely top class. I could feel from first talking with Shea he was a professional at what he does. Everything flowed from start to finish with ease. His price was very fair, everything on time, relaxed and friendly. Sincerely could not recommend Shea highly enough. Will definitely use again. First class service. Michael
5 star service - I have nothing but the utmost praise for the fantastic service offered by Shea & Deluxe Tours and Transfers. Shea is the total professional, courteous & caring for all of his guests, providing them with excellent service whilst all the time maintaining great humour, creating a relaxed atmosphere. We used Shea's service for transporting guests to & from our wedding & he was fantastic from first contact all the way through to dropping off the final guest. The vehicle he used was of high spec & was spotless. I cannot praise Shea & his business high enough, & would recommend him without hesitation
Our 100 km tour of Malin Head-Inishhowen with Shea was absolutely incredible! Shea’s knowledge of the area was exceptionally valuable and his work providing recordings to explain the sights in a variety of ways historically, ghost and other stories . Harold & I had a wonderful day exploring amazing Donegal scenery, we cannot wait until we can come back to do Shea’s other tours of this beautiful country.
We took a full day private tour of the Causeway Coast with Shea originating in Derry and ending in Belfast the same day. It was great. Shea is really nice and knowledgeable, his Mercedes Tourer Van is super high end, probably the most comfortable way to get from point A to B, and really a joy to tour in; lots of comfort and space. The amount of work Shea has put into giving his clients a high end experience is really noticeable. For example he has pre recorded descriptions of places, professionally voiced over with place appropriate music that come on while driving around and tell you about what you are passing. That's in addition to Shea answering any questions we had and giving us narratives of the places we stopped at. All in all this tour greatly exceeded our expectations and it was a great way to see the Causeway Coast and get from Derry to Belfast with all our luggage in comfort. Highly recommended.
Superb service, communication, punctuality etc. Top class bus too. Would highly recommend.
Shae was a true professional and gentleman. Used ‘Deluxe Tours and Transfers’ for a Derry/Letterkenny to Sligo weekend event - comfortable and luxurious, timeous, accommodating. I would definitely be calling Shae again for another trip in the future!
Couldn't recommend this service enough. From the fantastic customer service, great price, spotless and comfortable 16 seater to the gentleman that is Shea. He took us on a trip to sligo with pickups and stops along the way and even took us to us to our event after our supposed drop off. Nothing was too much for Shea, including being photographer and it was all done with a smile, even listening to our choice of music. 😄 Thanks a million for a wonderful service
Highly recommend this company. We had a fantastic trip. Shea is very kind, patient and respectful in the midst of all the madness hahaha. An absolute gent🙂
100% excellent service. Shea was so kind and well mannered. I recommend this fantastic company any time!
The service was excellent 👌. A very comfortable luxurious bus, a fridge was a bonus. Shea was very helpful with our bags loading them in the bus and out of the bus, he is very friendly, professional and happy at his work. We hired the bus from Derry to Sligo, it was a return journey. 💯💯💯
What can I say...Shea was a true professional while fitting in as one of the lads on our golf trip! First class service from a first class guy! Cheers Shea, hope to see you again in the future!!
Shea was exceptional and made our Golf trip smooth as butter (Shea butter)... Not only was he extremely helpful, on-time and courteous, he went out of his way to help outside of the terms of the contract. I will call Shea next time I'm in Ireland... you may pay slightly more but you will be able to relax and enjot your vacation!
Incredibly good service. Always punctual and got us to our destination on time. Will definitely be using Shea in the future. Highly recommend.
We used Deluxe Tours and Transfers for a trip to Lake Kilrea, great efficient reliable and very reasonably priced, overall highly recommended
Shea drove the bridesmaids and flower girls at my recent wedding. He was very patient, professional and friendly. The bridesmaids had a great time and all commented on how nice Shea was. Not only did he have bubbly for them, he even thought to bring an ice pop for the flower girls. I would highly recommend him for any occasion.
Recently we were in Ireland for a 10 day vacation with 5 days of golf included. We had the great pleasure of having Shea as our driver and host for the entire trip. From the onset he made us feel like he was actually part of our vacation. He filled us with history and facts of the country while skillfully navigating the narrow highways and byways with a comfortable ease. He was very prompt with all of our daily excursions and was always standing at the 18th green awaiting us at every course we played. If we ever make it back to Ireland he will be the first person we contact and we highly recommend anyone looking for a tour guide to do the same. Mike and Cathy Anthony
Shea provided us with a wonderful 10 days of safe, timely transportation to and from our golf, sightseeing and family events! From the moment he greeted the four of us at the Shannon airport, Shea was professional, pleasant, patient and fun. Our golf was intertwined with tours and great meals. Shea provided suggestions for side trips, restaurants, and history lessons as well. His vehicle was spotless and driving impeccable. We highly recommend him for you transportation needs! Mike and Denise
We used Shea and his services during a ten day golf trip to N. Ireland. Of course, the primary thing we needed was to safely and successfully travel from location to location. And Shea was awesome in that regard. Yes, that is his job, but his easy demeanor and ability to relate to each of us made the time with him on the road most enjoyable. On our days off from golf, while traveling to the next golf course, he arranged some sight seeing for us. We visited the Giant's Causway and Derry/Londonderry this way. Both stops were educational and enjoyable. He would ask what we wanted to see and/or do, and was always ready with suggestions. I had my new iPhone quit on me halfway through the trip. As the primary contact, this was not a great thing to happen. Yet, while I was on the golf course, Shea took my phone to a repair shop for me and returned it as good as new. I strongly recommend Shea for any of your transportation needs in N. Ireland or the Republic of Ireland. I am sure you will be pleased with the timely and safe service he provides.
We used Deluxe Tours and Transfers recently and what a difference it made. I've been on a few trips to Ireland but have never had a driver. It made every destination so relaxing and allowed us to see the beautiful landscapes, was extremely convenient and worry free. Shea was the best making site recommendations along the way and stopping anywhere/anytime we needed. Can't wait till the next time!
Very good experience on our transfer from Belfast airport to our hotel in Derry City. No hassle experience, on time, comfortable travel and very friendly / accomodating service. We also booked a Donegal tour with this company next day. The awesome storytelling during our travel added more beauty to the captivating Donegal spots we visited. Highly recommended!
Shea, the owner of Deluxe Tours and Transfers was our driver during a five day golfing tour. He was always promptly on time and more than willing to accommodate any request for an unplanned stop or diversion. The vehicle was comfortable and his driving impeccable. When the golfers were on the course, Shea volunteered to tour me around Counties Sligo and Donegal. It was very enjoyable, including stops at Lord Mountbatten’s castle in Mullaghmore and the quaint seaside town of Bundoran. Shea is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed hearing about the history of the areas that we were visiting. Shea will personalize your tour and provide you with a very enjoyable, relaxing experience. We highly recommend Deluxe!
