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 strongly rural, community-minded character, while the Atlantic shoreline, Easkey River and surrounding farmland give the area a distinctive outdoor feel. The village is best known for surfing and sea swimming, with Easkey Pier and the rocky coastline attracting experienced surfers and visitors. Day-to-day life is quiet and local, with essential services and social activity centred on the village and nearby towns such as Enniscrone, Ballina and Sligo. The former Easky School is a local education landmark; families generally use primary and secondary schools in surrounding villages and larger towns. Road travel is the main commuting option, with regional bus services and nearby rail connections at Ballymote or Ballina providing alternatives depending on destination. Local amenities include the Heritage Centre, village shops, pubs and places to eat, while beaches, walking routes, fishing and water sports provide much of the leisure appeal. Community groups and sporting organisations are important locally, and the area suits residents seeking a peaceful coastal setting within reach of larger north-west towns.
