The Gweedore Estuary is a transitional waterbody located in County Donegal, Ireland, within the North Western International River Basin District. This estuarine system is characterized by its tidal nature and connection to the Atlantic Ocean, forming part of the coastal landscape of west Donegal. The area is noted for its exposure to blowing sand and salt, which influences the local vegetation. The estuary flows into Gweedore Bay, with its waters transitioning between freshwater influence and full marine conditions.
