Description
Lissadell beach is located 1.5km from the village of Raghley. The beach itself exists of fine sand with a few rocks. There is also a little river which runs along the beach and makes a fantastic playground for kids.
Right beside the beach lie the magnificent grounds of Lissadell House, a neo‑classical, Greek‑revival country house built between 1830 and 1835. Its striking architecture and sweeping estate make it one of Sligo’s most iconic historic homes.
The current owners — Edward Walsh, Constance Cassidy, and their family — have lovingly restored the house, its formal gardens, and the old coach stables. Within the restored stables you’ll find a wonderful tearoom and art gallery, making it an ideal stop after exploring the coastline.
The beach car park nearby has become a popular spot for weekend campers, who enjoy the peace, quiet, and natural beauty of the area. With the mountains behind you, the sea in front, and Lissadell’s historic charm beside you, it’s a place that feels both timeless and deeply relaxing.
Because this stretch of sand sits on a tidal sandbank, the incoming tide can quickly cut you off from the mainland. It’s essential to keep an eye on tide times and avoid walking too far out when the tide is turning.
Beach: Fine sand
Sport: walking, running, open water swimming, sea kayaking, ...
Swimming: suitable for bathing, no lifeguard present
