Official Wild Atlantic Way viewpoint on the west coast of Sligo. From the promenade, you look out over the wide beach, the powerful Atlantic waves and the dunes stretching along the bay. Strandhill is a lively coastal village with surfers, walkers and an open view towards Knocknarea. A recognizable stop on the WAW route between Aughris Head and Culleenamore.
