Mullaghmore, Coastal village in County Sligo, Ireland.
Mullaghmore is a coastal village in County Sligo on Ireland's northwestern edge. The natural harbour sits between long sandy beaches and offers views toward the Atlantic and nearby mountains.
The estate belonged to the Temple family from the 17th century for several generations. Farming and fishing shaped the landscape until tourism grew in importance during the 20th century.
The Star of the Sea Retreat Centre, established in a former coast guard station, provides spiritual gatherings and includes gardens for meditation.
Public buses connect the village to neighboring towns, with a bus stop in Cliffoney about five kilometers away. The beaches and paths around the harbour are easy to reach for most visitors.
The waves offshore can grow very tall during heavy Atlantic weather, drawing surfers from across Europe. Some of these waves rank among the tallest breaking off Ireland.
