Claddaghduff is a short distance from Cleggan village and is probably best known for its many sandy beaches, particularly Omey strand, which separates Omey island from the mainland. Omey island is a mysterious place, with many relics of early christian settlement dating back thousands of years. Saint Fechins church, now almost buried by the sand dunes, a holy well and the site of an archaeological excavation are among the many points of interest on the island. Almost all the houses in this area have stunning sea views towards the panorama of islands and ocean that surrounds the peninsula.
