Enniscrone - also spelled Inniscrone and officially named Inishcrone (Irish: Inis Crabhann ) - is a small coastal town in County Sligo, Ireland. Sandy beaches, sights, and golf courses attract many visitors. The Enniscrone area includes the Muckduff, Lacken, Lacknaslevia, Frankford, Carrowhubbock South and Carrowhubbock North areas. Recently, local David McGowan has started the construction of a "glamping" village, with his primary focus being the Boeing 767 he bought to be converted into accommodation.

Pantai Enniscrone
The general sand beach of Enniscrone stretches along the long coastline. It is split near the bottom of the village by a small river that can be crossed, and supervised by a busy summer lifeguard.
Visitors generally live in holiday homes that are mostly only occupied in the summer. A large number of pedestrians use the full stretch to the mouth of the Moy River, where the island of Bartra can be seen. This beach is used extensively by residents of nearby Ballina town, County Mayo. Enniscrone has two main hotels, Diamond Coast Hotel and Ocean Sands Hotel, as well as many B & B such as Eagle Height, Water Front House, and na mara.
The 'Valley of Diamonds' is one of the hidden attractions along the coast; this is the largest of the volcanic compositions among the long grassy dunes, in which are valleys that are mostly sandy like sand, located near the shore. The sand dunes here are lined by the Sligo County Council as part of the 'Dune Recovery Work Program'.
The new city council limits restricting access to the beach, this action is taken to comply with the rules for the famous Blue Flag of Enniscrone.

Name
The majority of locals know this village as Enniscrone (Gaeilge: Inis Eascair Abhainn), although many local school teachers and historians use the official name of Inishcrone. The County Sligo board has ignored the official version supporting 'Enniscrone' which appears on their website and at least one local newspaper does not use the official name. Locally, road signs are one of the few "Inniscrone" places to be seen.
Until the late 1970s, the name Enniscrone was used by local teachers. It was taught as a descendant of Irish "Inis Eascar Abhann" which means the island in the sand dune on the river.
On May 30, 2006, Google registered only 668 entries for 'Inniscrone', and 862 for 'Inishcrone', while 'Enniscrone' had 212,000 entries. The limited search on the County Council County web site found 343 for 'Enniscrone', an entry for each of the other terms.
