About Burtonport
Burtonport is a small coastal village in The Rosses area of west Donegal, close to Dungloe, Annagry and Kincasslagh, with a strong maritime and island-connected identity. The village is centred on Burtonport Harbour, the departure point for ferries to Arranmore Island, and has a quiet, community-minded character shaped by fishing, tourism and local services. Everyday life is rural and relatively peaceful, with spectacular Atlantic scenery, beaches and islands nearby, although residents generally travel to Dungloe for a wider range of shopping, healthcare and secondary services. Local education includes Burtonport National School, while secondary-school options are available in Dungloe and surrounding communities. Bus Éireann services connect Burtonport with Dungloe, Letterkenny and other Donegal destinations, and Donegal Airport at Carrickfinn provides the nearest scheduled air connection. The village has local pubs, cafés and places to eat, with further restaurants, supermarkets and amenities in Dungloe; Burtonport Harbour and the ferry service are central to the area’s social and visitor life. Outdoor recreation is a major attraction, including coastal walks, beaches, boating, angling and island trips, while nearby landmarks such as Cruit Island and the Rosses coastline add to the area’s appeal.
