Killybegs (Na Cealla Beaga, "The Little Churches") is a fishing port in northwestern Ireland, on the south coast of Donegal. It lies in an inlet off Donegal Bay which forms a natural harbor.
Fish processing and sail making are established industries. The arrival of the fishing fleet and the unloading of the catch is a sight not to be missed
Killybegs also produces the famous Donegal hand-tufted carpets, which are to be found in Buckingham Palace and on Cunard liners. Visitors can be shown around the workshops.
There are also ample facilities for sport and recreation - tennis, sea angling and various water sports (diving). An International Sea Angling Festival and a regatta are held in August every year.
