We have done our best to have all information as accurate as possible, however at time of publication, some restrictions have
not been lifted and may cause some businesses to remain closed or reduce service capability. Please call ahead or check the
websites or social media channels of the places you wish to visit to avoid disappointment.
Our online guide at www.discoverbundoran.com/events and social media channels should always be checked for the most
up to date information.

Fáilte!
It’s been a strange time for us all since March 2020 and we have badly missed all of
our friends since the lockdowns started. While we had a reprise in the summer of 2020,
it was short lived and the town has been missing its heartbeat ever since.
As we move further into 2021, we will carry on as best we can. We will continue to follow
government and health guidelines as our number one priority is always you and your
wellbeing.
This may mean reduced service and hours at some businesses and attractions and different
ways of operating. We would ask you to be patient and continue to follow social distancing,
mask wearing and whatever other guidelines happen to be in place during your stay.
We can see a light at the end of the tunnel and we hope that Bundoran will be back to
relative normal sooner rather than later.
We have tried to cover as much as we can in our brochure at the time of going to press,
however we remind you to call ahead and/or check the websites or social media channels
of places you wish to visit to avoid disappointment. You will find a full business directory at
the back of this brochure.
Sadly it is unlikely that many events will be taking place for the remainder of the year but
any that do come our way will be promoted on our website www.discoverbundoran.com
and via our social media channels – just search Discover Bundoran (or find them all at
discoverbundoran.com/social)
Rest assured that all of our businesses will be doing everything they can to keep you safe and
don’t forget our many free outdoor activities as well including our stunning Fairy Bridges
and Wishing Chair, The Roguey Walk, our Blue Flag beach (now with free wifi!) and the West
End Walk.
Thank you for choosing Bundoran, stay safe and be kind to one another.

Surf at its best
One of the things that sets Bundoran apart is its wide array of options for all surfers
whether at Tullan Strand, Main Beach, The Peak or nearby Rossnowlagh or Streedagh.
Beginners & improvers - We would strongly
advise all beginners or those who’ve been surfing
only a handful of times to take a lesson with one of
the excellent surf schools in Bundoran. The schools
are all approved by the Irish Surfing Association and
just like a beginner skier would never start out on a
black run, this way you have an experienced coach
and lifeguard to make sure that you have a safe and
fun experience at the right beach for the conditions.
Intermediate - Whether you just plan to rent
equipment or you have your own boards - all the surf
schools will be happy to help you out. All rent boards
and wetsuits but will also be happy to just dispense
some advice. Tullan Strand is an excellent beach for
