Quigley's Point (Irish:"Rinn Uí Choigligh")) is located on the eastern shores of Inishowen and overlooks the wide expanse of Lough Foyle. To the south is the city of Derry and to the north lie the villages of Moville and Greencastle. A car ferry links Greencastle with Magilligan during the summer.

The village of Quigley's Point is also known as "Carrowkeel" (pronounced "Kerrykeel" locally) as it is marked as such on Irish Ordnance Survey maps. However all local signage and the local post office give the name "Quigley's Point" to the village.

The two pubs in the village are Foody's Lodge and Callaghans (The Cabry House). Foody's Lodge also has a caravan park adjacent to it.

The Presbyterian Church in Ireland has a church and Lecture Hall at Greenbank, near the village. Quigley's Point forms part of the Roman Catholic parish of Iskaheen and Upper Moville, and the nearest Church in the Parish is at Drung, approximately 3 km away towards Moville. The nearest Church of Ireland Church is at Redcastle and there is a Methodist Church in Ireland Church at Whitecastle, approximately 2.5 km from the village just off the road to Moville.

Nearby amenities include an interesting heritage centre at Isle of Doagh which tells the story of the famine years in the area.
