Fishing industry
 
Killybegs is an important fishing port in Ireland, and its harbour is often full with trawlers. Killybegs is a natural deepwater harbour with a minimum of 12 meters of water at all times at a new €50 million pier completed in 2004. The harbour is home to many of the largest Irish-registered fishing trawlers, but it handles many other types of shipping as well. These include passenger cruise liners and mixed specialist cargoes, such as parts and containers for the oil industry and parts for windmills. The harbour is important to the Irish bulk fishing industry, as it specialises in the processing and freezing of pelagic species such as mackerel and herring in bulk, and sending the finished frozen fish out to markets in Africa, the Middle East and Europe by ocean-going cargo ships.

There is also a factory producing decorative timber flooring and a producer of seaweed based cosmetic products.

"An Aislann" is a community facility which includes a library, sports hall (basketball and indoor football), a gym, computer center, and small theatre. It also has exhibits based on the history of south west Donegal and usually has an revolving exhibition of historic local photographs. It is in the same complex as the hand weaving center. The national school is about 750 meters from the main street and the parish of Kilcar stretches all the way to the river which separates it from the next village, Carrick, which is about 6 kilometres away. The village itself is surrounded by a variety of townlands, which with the village comprise the parish of Kilcar. They would generally be at most a square mile. The parish of Kilcar includes some 45 townlands, although the names and exact number have changed over time.

One of these townlands is Muckross (Mucros in Irish) which is a popular location for tourists due to its spectacular scenery, rock climbing, surfing beach and safe family bathing beach.

There is a pipe band in the village which is a prominent feature of the St Patrick's Day festival in the village.
