Narin and Portnoo are tiny villages on Gweebarra Bay. They are popular seaside resorts because of the beautiful wishbone-shaped Blue Flag beach at Narin.

The tip of the beach points towards Iniskeel island and at low tide you can walk out to this island. St. Connell, a cousin of St. Colmcille founded a monastery here in the 6th century. There is no visible sign of the monastery but there are some early medieval Christian ruins to discover. The beach attracts many water sports enthusiasts and Narin Portnoo Golf Club has one of the best natural links courses in Ireland.
