Clonmany is a small village nestled in the Inishowen Peninsula of County Donegal, Ireland, sitting at the heart of some of the most dramatic and productive shoreline fishing in the country. The surrounding coastline offers a diverse range of shore angling opportunities, from sandy strand fishing to rugged rocky outcrops, all set against the wild Atlantic backdrop of northeast Donegal. The area is particularly well suited to anglers who enjoy exploring varied terrain, as the coastline shifts between sheltered bays, exposed headlands, and tidal flats within just a few kilometers of the village.

Tullagh Strand lies approximately 3 kilometers north of Clonmany via a narrow road turning off the R238. This sandy strand has historically produced solid catches of silver eels, whiting, flounder, and dab, with night fishing being particularly productive. When moderate surf is running, sea trout and occasional bass are also realistic targets here. The eastern shore of Tullagh Point features weedy ground where crab can be collected, and the eastern end of the bay offers lugworm digging opportunities for those who prefer to source their own bait.

Binnion lies to the southwest of Pollan Bay and provides access to rocky shoreline with approximately 7 meters of water available at mid tide. The ground close to the rocks is very rough and tackle losses are common, but longer casts of over 90 meters will reach sandy patches in three or four locations along the stretch. These sandy areas can be identified from the shore using polarized sunglasses, which reveal the contrast between rough and sandy bottom.

Malin Head, the most northerly point in Ireland, is accessible via the R242 and offers deep-water access from the pier on the northeastern side, particularly at high tide.
