What to expect

Walk the beach and take in beautiful views of Knocknarea to the south and Benbulben to the north. Backed by high sand dunes and a protective ring of boulders with rock pools, Rosses Point is best to explore at low tide.

The village of Rosses Point is set against the backdrop of the spectacular Dartry mountain range and the beauty of Sligo Bay. The bay is ideal for windsurfing and other water sports.
