Black Pig Festival - In the main street a large black pig (The huge creature made by local sculptor Cillian Rogers) recalls a tale - A huge boar ran amok in Donegal, devouring women and children.

Pursued, it fled south, disappearing into the sea in Sligo and later emerging on Enniscrone beach. It was finally slain at nearby Mackduff, and being too big to bury was covered with a pile of stones which remain to this day. A celebration based around the legend of the Black Pig takes place annually in August.

The town’s main street runs parallel to the beach, so accessibility to shops, cafés, restaurants and accommodation is just a short walk away. Apart from hotels and B & B’s, and self catering facilities, the town has the Atlantic Caravan Park – practically on the beach itself, and within the sound of the waves.

Also, there is fishing from the shore or on local lakes and rivers. In the evening join with the locals and visitors in the singing lounges and dancing. Enniscrone is capped by spectacular sunsets over Killala Bay. Enniscrone has all amenities to provide good tourism facilities.
