Tullen Strand is a charming two-kilometer white sand beach that is considered to be Ireland's most consistent beach stretch, spanning between Bundoran's northern end to Ballyshannon's Erne Estuary. The popular beachfront is framed by the nearby Sligo-Leitrim Mountains and a number of sand dune formations, making it one of the country's most scenic beachfronts. Waves frequently reach heights of up to six feet, making for great surfing conditions for surfers of all skill levels. Due to wave conditions, swimming is not recommended at the beach, especially for children and novice swimmers. The beach is also popular with canoeists, body boarders, and other watersport enthusiasts, which can sometimes create overcrowding conditions during summer weekends, so tourists are advised to visit the beach during weekdays to avoid crowds.
