Streedagh is another of Sligo’s fine expanses of sand. This is a good spot if you like your beaches bracing and a bit windy. It’ s quite open, but you will get some shelter from the dunes surrounding the beach. A good place for a walk and there is a great view across to majestic Ben Bulben
As the photos show when we were there it is was deserted but real people do actually come here !
The water is fresh and can also get a bit wavy, which of course some people like. Not too deep and you get into your depth gradually
Access is from a large but rough car park across some stones. It’s not wheelchair accessible and you will be carrying your buggy.
Streedagh has lifeguards on duty during the summer months.
Directions
Take the N 15 from Sligo toward Bundoran / Sligo. As you enter the village of Grange watch for a left turn signposted Streedagh. Follow this meandering road and it will take you to the car park.
