Visitor Reviews of Streedagh Strand


Sligo man from IRELAND writes:

Its a great beach with lots of fossils,
its Really nice when its sunny and its
a more calm beach than the others in Sligo.
And one thing I love about it is that theres none of them
Flies that follow you in hot wheather.
(They're so annoying)
