Kinnagoe Bay is one of the most beautiful golden sandy beaches of Inishowen.When the Spanish Armada was wrecked off the north east coast in 1588, a number of galleons sank in the vicinity of Inishowen Head and one of these was located at Kinnagoe Bay by members of Derry Sub-Aqua Club. Four cannons in almost perfect condition were recovered and they are on display at Foyle College in Derry.
Kinnagoe Bay
Glenagivney, called the "Queen of the Inishowen Glens," runs inland from Kinnagoe Bay towards Lecamy. At Lecamy is an example of an ancient sweat-house. They were an early form of Turkish or sauna bath. It is believed that the almost enclosed chamber was heated like an oven and people crept in and then, having been sweated, rushed out to immerse themselves in cold water. Tradition has it that they were used as a cure for rheumatism and for temporary madness!
