In Castlebar now, give spot. Scorching outside
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Have a house 1 mile from it


Surfing in Streedagh    Best Kept secret in Sligo

If your heading up that way   Benbulben Horse Shoe ( Gleniff) ( Ballinatrillick ) and Glencar Waterfall are 2 hidden gems.
 
Agree with all these daboi89 Clap..........Streedagh has to be the windiest beach in the world......anytime of year.
 
Was over last weekend (sadly for a family funeral) but as I hadn't been home for a good few years I revisted the hidden gems you mentioned (and a few others)
Wallet ?? What the fcuk is that ?

I'd second this. Enniscrone is a decent spot.

It's San Tropez compared to the Coventry that is Ballina.

Not to many places better than Mullaghmore on a day like that.

So far I've a hotel that I'd never recommend and also bar a bar with the worst guinness I've ever tasted, enniscrone tomorrow then up to Sligo, agreed Drog, great spot.

Was just about the post this. If you get the weather it is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Amazing. If you are stuck for something to do there walk to the valley of diamonds its a good bit away from the main beach but its just unreal in the sunshine. Sligo far better than Ballina even though I do like Ballina myself.
