Description
Rosses Point sits at the edge of Sligo Bay, framed beautifully by the Dartry Mountains to the north and the Atlantic stretching out in front. It’s a classic seaside village with a relaxed charm — home to friendly pubs, great restaurants, and plenty of welcoming accommodation.
The beach itself is a long, clean stretch of sand that’s ideal for windsurfing and other watersports, thanks to the steady breezes that sweep across the bay. It’s also a lovely place for a walk, with wide views across the water and the dramatic outline of Benbulben rising in the distance.
During the bathing season, the beach is lifeguard‑patrolled, and up‑to‑date safety information is displayed on the noticeboard at the beach entrance. Rosses Point has been dual‑awarded, holding both the International Blue Flag and Green Coast Award — a testament to its water quality and natural beauty.
It’s a place where scenery, sea air, and village life blend effortlessly, offering something for everyone who visits.

Sports: open water swimming, kite surfing, sea kayaking, running, triathlon
