Introducing Killybegs
A fishy fragrance welcomes you to Killybegs (Ceala Beaga), Ireland’s most important fishing port and home to a large fishmeal processing plant. Apart from that, it’s a fairly charming town, with a number of oddly angled streets colliding at its diamond, a block from the pier. Deep-sea angling is the top tourist activity here, but Killybegs is also a convenient base for the spectacular cliff scenery beyond Kilcar.
