Maghera Caves are a group of 13 sea caves cut into the coast beside Maghera Strand. One is known as Uaimh a' nDaoine, the Cave of the People. Local stories tied to the caves include a killing said to have happened during the time of the Black and Tans, and a tale of a man and dog entering a cave: the dog returned at Port, but the man did not.

The caves are affected by the tide and falling rock. Check the tide and local safety advice before approaching them.
