Machaire Rabhartaigh (known in English as Magheroarty), meaning "plain of the spring tide/plain of Roarty",[1] is a Gaeltacht village and townland on the north-west coast of County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland.

It has been home to a Gael Linn Irish language Summer school since 1981 which runs courses for teenagers aged 12–18 every summer, and has an intake of about 200 students per course.

[citation needed] It attracts tourists during the summer and watersports enthusiasts visit the area to windsurf/surf/kitesurf and to go kayaking in the bay.

A natural reef exists to the left of the pier which provides conditions suitable for surfing throughout the year.

[citation needed] Amenities include a pub, café and Scoil Naomh Dubhthach Machaire Rabhartaigh, an Irish-speaking primary school.
