Surfing
Surfing
The North West has become a famous surf destination in recent years with a range of surf school and shops popping up all over. The waves nearest to the accommodation are Lislary, Streedagh, and the famous Mullaghmore Head if you’re brave/crazy enough!
The Peak, Bundoran, Tullan Strand, Rossnowlagh, Strandhill and Enniscrone are just a few of the ones we know of, however there is a mass of coast to be discovered. This makes Beezies perfect for those of you who are planning a surf break.

If you are looking for a local Spa, swimming pool and leisure centre you can head to The Pier Head Hotel in Mullaghmore. Also serves food daily. The Beach Hotel in Mullaghmore is another super venue for food.
