Beyond Inishkeel one can see the estuary of the Gweebarra River and the southern edge of the Rosses. When the tide is low one can walk from Narin out to the island which is named after Conall Caol, the sixth century saint who is associated with many other places in the southwest of the county. <\/p>\n<p>The tide allows you around an hour to visit the sites, before walking back again. It is well worth a visit, with its early Christian churches, holy wells and beautifully decorated stone slabs. Inishkeel used to attract many locals to do the \u2018stations\u2019, the traditional ritual of walking around sites connected to a saint and saying prayers in his honour.<\/p>\n<p>The extensive Blue Flag sandy beach is backed by an extensive and majestic sand dune system with a well defined primary dune ridge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/blog\/narin-portnoo-golf-club\/\" title=\"Narin and Portnoo Golf Club\">Narin and Portnoo Golf Club<\/a> is a beautiful yet challenging links test, especially in windy conditions.
