Magheraroarty is the embarkation point for boats crossing to Tory Island (see), located 14 km off the coast. A long concrete pier has been built there to allow ships to dock and shelter in bad weather. To the east, Port Marsh Bay opens up towards the Dooey Peninsula with its dunes and long white sandy beaches. The peninsula is separated from the coast by a sea inlet, on the banks of which lies a graveyard of old abandoned fishing boats. Off the coast, towards Tory Island, are three small, fairly flat islands, Inishbofin, Inishdooey and Inishbeg. Only the first is inhabited. On the easternmost coast stands the imposing Horn Head.
Le hameau de Magheraroarty est le point d'embarquement des bateaux qui effectuent la traversée jusqu'à l'île de Tory (voir) située à 14 km au large des côtes. Une grande digue y a été construite afin de permettre aux navires d'accoster et de s'abriter par mauvais temps. A l'est s'ouvre la baie de Port Marsh vers la péninsule de Dooey avec ses dunes et ses longues plages de sable blanc. La péninsule est séparée de la côte par un bras de mer sur les rives duquel on trouve un cimetière de vieux bateaux de pêche abandonnés. Au large de la côte, en direction de l'île de Tory émergent trois petites îles assez plates, Inishbofin, Inishdooey et Inishbeg. Seule le première est habitée. Sur la côte tout à l'est se dresse l'imposante pointe de Horn Head.
