Strandhill Beach
Surfing hotspot with beach walks, seaweed baths, and a vibrant village atmosphere
Summarized by AI
At Strandhill Beach you can surf year-round on Atlantic waves, book lessons with local surf schools, or simply watch the surfers from the sand or seafront cafés. Walk the long beach in either direction through sand dunes and grassland, taking in the changing moods of the ocean, but note that swimming is forbidden due to dangerous currents. Refuel with ice cream from Mammy Johnston’s, brunch at Shells, or food trucks by The Strand Bar, then explore the lively surf village and its weekly market in the old airport.






Glencar Waterfall
Scenic waterfall and wooded walk inspired by Yeats, with picnic areas, a playground, and a nearby cafe
Summarized by AI
At Glencar Waterfall you can follow a short, wooded walk to varied viewing platforms where the 50-foot cascade drops into a fern-lined pool, so close you can almost touch the water. Take in the atmosphere that inspired W.B. Yeats’ poem “The Stolen Child,” then linger at the TeaSHED Café for homemade food and views over Glencar Lake, or use the picnic area and playground. From the car park, extend your visit with the Glencar Hill Walk or the nearby Devil’s Chimney waterfall.





Knocknarea
Historic mountain hike featuring panoramic views and the legendary Queen Maeve's cairn
Summarized by AI
Climb Knocknarea for a moderately steep, 40–60 minute hike on well-defined trails and boardwalks that suit most walkers, including families. At the summit, explore Miosgán Méadhbha (Queen Maeve’s Cairn), Ireland’s largest unopened cairn, tied to legends of the warrior queen and believed to conceal a Neolithic passage tomb, plus several smaller tomb remains. Take in 360-degree views over Strandhill, Sligo town, Benbulben, the Ox Mountains, rivers, lakes, and the Atlantic coastline stretching towards Easky.
