Possibly, due to it's pure sea breezes and beautiful setting, Strandhill has been regarded as a natural health resort.
Strandhill is about 8 kilometres west of Sligo town. There are several miles of golden sandy beach and some beautiful sand dunes to explore!
The village is noted as a location for unforgetable views of Atlantic sunsets. It is a very friendly holiday resort.
Strandhill's Atlantic swells provide some of the best surfing in Europe and it is an International Surfing venue.
The Warriors Run takes place every August takes competitors from the Cannon Gun at the beachfront in Strandhill to the top of Knocknarea, around Queen Maeves Cairn and back to the beachfront again an intense 15 Kilometer run.
It's also a beautiful walk from Strandhill village to the summit of Knocknarea and the legendary cairn of Maeve,
Iron Age Queen of Connaught. There are breathtaking views from the top. But remember it is tradition to take a rock from the foot of the mountain and place it on top of the cairn
