Strandhill has in recent times become a surfing mecca for surfers from far and wide. The beach itself breaks on all tides and picks up almost any swell direction, making it super consistent. There are a number of other breaks nearby including a super fun point break, but we will have to let you figure that out yourself! For the more experience surfers, Strandhill is the perfect place on the coast to base yourself.

Here you are 35 minutes from Bundoran with its world class reefs and points, and in the other direction you are 35 minutes from Easkey which again has it's own share of slabs, point breaks and epic set ups.

Depending on the swell direction, you can wake up in Strandhill and decide which direction to drive in search of perfect Irish waves. Wind direction, big tides, swell directions and many other variables play a part in every break around here, so be sure to do your homework, or befriend one of the locals over a Guinness!
