Kids Outdoor Activities
Looking for kids outdoor activities in Inishowen?
Start with the sea. Inishowen has wide sandy beaches, big skies, and enough cold Atlantic water to keep anyone awake, and learning to surf is one of the best ways for a child to enjoy all three.
At Inishowen Surf School, wetsuits and boards are part of the session. All your child needs to bring is some enthusiasm.
Get Them Into the Sea
Plenty of children are happiest with a bucket and a beach. Add a wetsuit and a foam board and things get a lot more interesting.
Our sessions are beginner-friendly, so your child can learn at their own pace, get properly active and go home tired in the best way.
Start with our kids and teen surf lessons, or see where we surf around Donegal and where we teach across the north coast.
Kids Water Sports In Donegal
Surfing is the main one for us, and it's suitable for a wide age range. It's a proper sport, and it's also a great way to introduce children to the sea.

Summer Activities For Kids In Donegal
Looking for summer activities that fill more than an afternoon? Our kids summer surf camp gives them several days of it. Rainy Irish summer day? Surfing works fine in the rain, since everyone's wet anyway.
Outdoor Education For Kids
Schools and youth groups often want something with real learning in it: water safety, teamwork, reading the sea. See our school surf trips for outdoor education in Donegal, aimed at groups.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Schools and youth groups often want something with real learning in it: water safety, teamwork and reading the sea. Our school surf trips are built for outdoor education in Donegal. For bigger parties, see our group surf lessons.
Making a Holiday of It
One lesson won't fill a holiday, and the peninsula has plenty more for children. Culdaff Beach is a Blue Flag beach with a playground, so families love it. The Wild Alpaca Way at Malin Head lets families walk with alpacas, with views over Five Fingers Strand.
Our guide to things to do in Inishowen has ideas for the rest of the trip, and our Donegal adventure activities page covers the wider county. Planning a longer stay?
