Overview
Port Ronan Pier to the signpost for Malin Head
Malin Head Walk - Distance: 10+ km - Time: 2+ hr.
Turn right out of Sandrock Hostel and walk to the Port Ronan pier end take a deep breath of Atlantic air to prepare you for the walk. Retrace your steps to the hostel and head up the lane. At sign post turn left and walk up steep hill through houses in area known as 'West Town' (not signposted ).

The Signpost to Beasty Viewpoint
As you walk up the hill on the left hand side is the ‘White Strand Bay' with the town land 'Culoort' sitting at the back of the bay. Follow the signs to the Beasty Viewpoint car park on your right you will observe the rugged coastline facing north and often spectacular rough seas breaking. Below is a thatched farmhouse and outbuildings built in the old traditional style. Unfortunately, this is private land and there is no access. View from Beasty Viewpoint.

Beasty Viewpoint to Bamba’s Crown
Continue on a gradual uphill walk and you will come to a clearly sign posted left hand road which leads to 'Bamba's Crown' - 'Ireland's Most Northerly Point'. You will see the Signal Tower at the top of the hill.
(This is well worth a diversion - but will add a considerable amount of time to the fast 1.5 hour walk)

Malin Head
This is the most Northerly point in Ireland. At the Signal Tower you will see a series of now whitewashed stones spelling out 'EIRE' to passing aircraft! Out to sea you will see Inishtrahull Island. And further out, behind Inishtrahull, the Scottish Isles can be seen [on a clear day].

Bamba's Crown to Esky Bay
On your right hand side of the road in the centre of Esky Bay is a "Curiosity Shop" containing artefacts old and new. Well worth another diversion to browse through and maybe pick up a memento!
