About Lackan Bay
Lackan Bay is a sheltered north-west-facing beach on the Mayo side of Killala Bay, opposite Enniscrone. It's quieter than the busier Mayo Atlantic spots and works on a slightly different swell window - more sheltered, less heavy.
The beach catches NW swells with E to SE offshore winds. Mid tide is best. Cars are sometimes allowed onto the beach depending on tide. Very few facilities at the beach itself; bring what you need.
Hazards & Notes
- If driving on the beach - mind the tide
- Rips between sand bars on bigger swells
- No lifeguards · be self-sufficient
- Cold water year-round outside summer
