Buncrana has a relatively strong tourism industry, and it is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the northwest of Ireland.
This is possibly due to its close proximity to Derry, and also for its wide range of retail stores.
It also has well-developed tourist facilities, and it serves as the main town on the Inishowen peninsula, which also helps with sustaining the tourism industry in the town.

Lisfannon beach, a Blue Flag beach, sits on the shores of Lough Swilly just south of the town, and is an important recreational beach that is popular with locals and day-trippers from Derry.
