About Easkey
Easkey is a small coastal village in west County Sligo, set on the Wild Atlantic Way between Dromore West and Enniscrone, with Kilglass nearby. It has a strongly rural, community-oriented character, while the rocky Atlantic shoreline and Easkey River give the area a distinctive coastal feel. Everyday life is quiet and outdoors-focused, with surfing, sea swimming, walking and fishing among the main local pastimes. The village has a heritage centre, local shops and traditional hospitality, while a wider choice of supermarkets, schools and services is available in nearby Enniscrone, Dromore West and Ballina. Easkey is particularly known for its surf coast and attracts visitors to Easkey Pier and the surrounding beaches, reefs and headlands. The former Easky School is a local landmark, although families generally look to schools in surrounding villages and larger nearby towns for current primary and secondary provision. Bus services and the N59 provide the principal public-transport and road connections, with Ballina the main larger centre for commuting, shopping and services. Local bars, cafés and food businesses are informal and seasonal in character, reflecting Easkey’s small population and visitor economy.
