Discover Mullaghmore Head, between Cliffoney and Grange in scenic County Sligo. Stroll along the incredible white sandy beach and get out on the water for a swim or a surfing lesson.

Mullaghmore Head is a renowned surfing spot and is described as Ireland's ultimate big wave destination. Swim in the shimmering blue water or try a spot of windsurfing.

Explore the walking route along the coastline of Mullaghmore Head and after, stop by the small fishing village of Mullaghmore. Savour some fresh seafood and enjoy a warm welcome from the locals. Look out for majestic Classiebawn Castle in the distance and admire the picturesque stone harbour.

Take a boat trip on the wild waters of the Atlantic Ocean and head to Inishmurray Island. See the ruins of the ancient monastic site founded by St Molaise and make some time for a deep sea angling trip, the catch here is always impressive.
