From Donegal Town, follow signs for Letterkenny, then Derry.

From Derry, follow the A2 signs for Limavady/Coleraine.

You will pass the City of Derry Airport, and several small villages.  At the first roundabout after Ballykelly turn left (signed for Benone Strand/Downhill & Magilligan Point Ferry).  At the ‘T’ junction turn left continue until you come to Downhill.  The hostel will be directly in front of you by the entrance to the beach.
