Renowned for its spectacular coastal views, sandy beaches and maritime heritage, the village offers the perfect combination of relaxation, outdoor activities and breathtaking scenery along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.

The village is also home to Sligo Yacht Club and the prestigious County Sligo Golf Club, which hosts the renowned West of Ireland Championship each year. Visitors can enjoy sailing, golf, swimming, walking and a wide range of water sports while taking in magnificent views across the Atlantic Ocean towards Benbulben and the surrounding coastline.
