Sligo boasts two beautiful beaches; one at
Strandhill, and the other at Rosses Point. The two strands sit on either side of
the entrance to Sligo Harbour, which was once one of the busiest ports in
Ireland. Today Rosses Point is home to several important recreational facilities
including the County Sligo Golf Club, the Sligo Yacht Club, and Rosses Point
strand, one of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland.
