Strandhill

Strandhill or occasionally Larass (Irish: an Leathros)[2] is a coastal town and townland on the Coolera Peninsula in County Sligo, Ireland.

[citation needed] It is suggested the development of Strandhill can be attributed to a Benjamin Murrow who purchased the undeveloped land from the upper road in 1895 for £1,760.

[5] Strandhill's surrounding areas include the mountain of Knocknarea, Coney Island, Culleenamore beach, and Dorrins Strand.

Much of the terrain consists of marram-covered dunes, and the local council has had to undertake various measures throughout the years to combat coastal erosion.

[7] There is also a small ice-cream shop, run by the Raymond family [8] Strandhill is a vast beach break capable of holding huge waves in the right conditions.

Westlife's Kian Egan and his wife, actress and model Jodi Albert, live in Strandhill with their children.
