Watch: Viral TikTok of diving dolphin display at Downings Murder Hole Beach

A pod of dolphins swimming in Downings has gone viral on TikTok.

At the time, around 4pm, it was windy and raining, which gave way to the perfect wave conditions for the dolphin display. 

The video, which now has over a million views, was captured by Amy McAteer, a student nurse from Clady, County Tyrone. It was captured at Murder Hole Beach and captioned as the “most surreal thing I’ve ever seen.”
