Sandrock Holiday Hostel is situated at ‘Ireland’s Most Northerly Point’ in Malin Head Donegal above the small fishing pier at Port Ronan. From within the hostel there are ever changing breathtaking spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean [White Strand Bay], the headlands of Inishowen and Fanad Peninsulas and the Highlands of Donegal.. These ever changing seascapes and landscapes including spectacular sunsets/sunrises at Malin Head are especially very popular with photographers and artists.

The hostel at Malin Head is at a premier scenic rural location, which is a perfect base for touring, walking or cycling.
Descriptive circular routes in various languages are available at the hostel.
These routes highlight the local points of interest and facilities including:
where to collect semi-precious stones, places of historical interest;
where to buy or catch local fish including salmon [when in season] lobsters, crabs, mussels and oysters which can all be cooked in the hostel;
where to view dolphins, seals and whales; and
where to locate rare birds including the corncrakes , all sea birds and various birds of prey.

Malin Head has also become extremely popular with divers interested in the numerous wrecks submerged just off the coast because of the unique good visibility underwater here.
