Sligo has many facilities to offer visitors. Because of its position, Harbour House is close to all amenities such as sea and lake fishing, shark fishing, scuba diving, bowling, swimming, golfing, windsurfing, sailing, and many other outdoor and indoor pursuits. All are just within minutes of Harbour House.

If you wish to eat out, Sligo has many restaurants and hotels which provide the most varied of menus, sure to please the most discerning of tastes. There are five Nightclubs in Sligo, providing music till late all through the week, not to mention the array of pubs with live music and good conversation, which every visitor should go out and sample.

Within a five mile radius of Sligo town are the contrasting beaches at Rosses Point and Strandhill. The Yacht Club at Rosses Point has hosted many national and international sailing events. Both have excellent golf links and in 1991 Rosses Point hosted the Home International Championships. Strandhill is rapidly earning a reputation as an ideal centre for surfing. It hosts national and international events each year.
