Killybegs, Fishing port in County Donegal, Ireland
The deep natural harbor of Killybegs extends 12 meters below water at low tide, supporting large pelagic trawlers and international shipping vessels.
The Spanish vessel La Girona received assistance from local chieftain MacSweeney Bannagh in 1588 before its final journey toward Scotland during the Spanish Armada.
The Maritime Heritage Centre, formerly the Donegal Carpet Factory, exhibits the manufacturing traditions of Donegal carpets and the local fishing industry.
The town provides multiple amenities for visitors, including restaurants serving fresh seafood, accommodation options, and direct access to Fintra Beach.
The port processes and freezes specific fish varieties like mackerel, herring, scad, and blue whiting for distribution to international markets.
