Crohy Head Sea Arch, locally also known as The Breeches, is a striking coastal formation on the rugged cliffs southwest of Dungloe. The arch seen from the cliff is actually the Bristi Sea Stack, one of several natural arches carved out here by Atlantic erosion. The silhouette — a narrow, tall rock with a hollowed-out passage — forms one of Donegal's most recognizable coastal sights. The surroundings consist of steep grassy slopes, dark rocks, and open views towards Maghery and Arranmore.

Also known as 'The Breeches', Crohy Head Sea Arch is actually three arches. The one that is visible from the clifftop and most photographed is Bristi Sea Stack. It is a truly incredible sight and one of Donegal's best coastal destinations.
