Easkey is a super quaint little surf town on the west coast of Ireland. Super windy during my visit. Easy to get to from Sligo on a bus. There isn’t much to do here, a day or two is perfect for exploring. If you’re a full-blown surfer maybe 2 days wouldn’t be enough xD. I did see several surfers here from all over the world. 


Everyone was super friendly. I stayed at Easkey Hostel and had a nice experience there.
