Description
Yellow Strand sits on the Raghly Peninsula, a long, quiet stretch of sand that feels wonderfully untouched. Even on the warmest summer days, this beach remains peaceful and rarely crowded — a hidden corner of North Sligo that locals treasure for its solitude.
There are no lifeguards, and the beach is dangerous for swimming, but its beauty lies in its stillness and scenery rather than the water. The Atlantic here is remarkably clear, and during the summer months you can often see mackerel leaping from the surface, adding a spark of life to the calm shoreline.
Reaching Yellow Strand is part of the experience. The beach is highly inaccessible, approached only by a narrow road with no car park at all. This lack of infrastructure is exactly why the beach remains so quiet — a place where you can sit, breathe, and enjoy the raw, unspoiled beauty of the coastline without interruption.
Beach: Fine sand and some rocks
Sports: Sea kayaking, running
Swimming: Swimming not allowed. Strong currents
