Ireland's Bundoran Beach in County Donegal has been given what nickname by surfers?

Bundoran Beach is known by surfers as a “Cold Water Eden” because there are constant swells that are considered awesome to surf. The beautiful shores of Bundoran, Ireland, situated on the southwestern tip of Donegal, provide nonstop swells for “Cold Water Eden”. The surf here offers a wide range of reef and beach options for all levels of surfers.

Bundoran is now considered the ‘surf capital of Ireland’ because year after year surfing has become more synonymous with Bundoran. It isn't difficult to see why.

Representing surfing in many forms (shortboarding, longboarding, bodyboarding, kneeboarding, standup paddle surfing, skimboarding, body surfing and tow surfing), the European Surfing Championships have been hosted in Bundoran in 1985, 1997, and 2011 with no less than 15 countries. Additionally the town is well known for hosting the country's National Surf Championships.

With varying swells in abundant varying sizes coming from every direction, Bundoran is a surfers dream. Sports fans descend on this tiny seaside town all year round to catch the best waves the west coast has to offer. Once surfing is done, surfers and non-surfers like to enjoy the town’s many pubs and live music venues.

The town of Bundoran is truly an incredibly surfer-friendly town. It offers discounts to surfers who visit during the the peak season. In 2012 Bundoran was listed by National Geographic magazine as one of the World's Top 20 Surf Towns. Today this still applies.
