Hi,Tullagh beach is a few miles north of Clonmany village on the road towards Leenan pier .about 2 miles out of Clonmany there is a y junction in the road ,take a right at the junction for a few hundred yds and you will see two caravan parks on the right,carry on for another couple of hundred yds and access to the beach is via a car park on the right.you can also continue on to the headland for 1/2 a mile and access the beach from the north end where the pollock fish from the rocks can be excellent on an ebbing tide.

MC. the best session i've had this year. :) Tullagh in my opinion is possibly the best flounder beach in Inishowen,I have them up to 3lbs off it also fishes well all year round and on all tides. i know it like back of my hand as i lived not 75 yds from this beach for 25 years and have fished it thousands of times.
