    Hi, I'm from that part of the country. Totally biased here but the Inishowen peninsula has some of the most spectacular scenery in Ireland. If you're into landscape photography, there are many great opportunities. I'd recommend going out around Malin and Malin Head. There are some lovely views from around the Five Fingers strand in Malin. You've also got to take a trip up Mamore Gap outside Clonmany. There's also a scenic drive around Kinnagoe Bay just outside Moville. Nice shore walk in Moville too!. Take a trip down to Rosato's in Moville some evening for a bite to eat - nice relaxed pub with great grub!

    Enjoy your few days, and if there's anything specific, I'll be only too happy to reply.

    If you have a car its half the battle, i'd head round the places scrum suggested, also try and take in swan park area of buncranna some great photo oppurtunites there, also if you get a chance head up to grannain (spelt wrong) of ailaigh in burt its class up there, and take in the farland banking there is a lovely walk around a bird sanctury there, if you need directions gimmie a pm, P.S. id deffo take in the latter 2!

    make sure you get to see the planetarium and observatory at Greencastle Maritime Museum... also, there could be someone decent playing at McGroarys gig venue at Culdaff... Shrove is also a picturesque spot, you can see Scotland clearly if the weather is clear from the hill above the lighthouse... Theres a really nice shore walk along the seafront at Moville

    If you are lucky you will get some good weather.

    Kinnego bay is a good spot - If it is Sunny you will see me there running about as I only live a few miles from the beach!

    Here are some images from google for the beach:
