Easkey Neighbourhood Guide

About Easkey
Easkey is a small coastal village in west County Sligo, on the Wild Atlantic Way between Dromore West and Enniscrone, with Kilglass nearby. It has a distinctly rural, community-minded character, while its position beside the Atlantic gives it a strong surfing, walking and outdoor identity. The village is best known for Easkey Pier and its exposed reef breaks, attracting surfers and visitors while retaining a relatively peaceful everyday pace. Local life centres on village shops, pubs, community facilities and the Heritage Centre, with larger-scale shopping and services available in nearby Enniscrone, Dromore West and Ballina. Easky School is listed as a former school, so families should check current primary-school arrangements in the surrounding area; secondary education is generally accessed in larger nearby towns. Bus services and private cars provide the main transport options, with the N59 connecting Easkey towards Sligo, Ballina and the wider north-west. Leisure is particularly outdoors-focused, including coastal walks, surfing, fishing and Gaelic games, while the village’s pubs and cafés provide informal places to meet. The setting suits residents seeking coastal scenery, a close-knit rural community and access to larger towns without living in an urban centre.
