Fáilte Ireland is thrilled to announce the opening of the new National Surf Centre, Strandhill following a €3million investment. This unique visitor experience, which has been developed by @Failte_Ireland, @DeptRCD @sligococo, is Ireland’s first purpose-built surfing facility. It will position Strandhill as a world-class surfing destination and we expect the centre will attract over 40,000 visitors annually by 2028, rising to over 50,000 by 2033. The project delivers on Fáilte Ireland’s Opening the Outdoors strategy to support our ambition to develop Ireland as an internationally recognised Outdoor Activity destination. https://t.co/n2Opcud6re
