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.
