Enniscrone is one of the most rapidly developing family holiday seaside resorts in the North West region and has many fine attractions which continue to bring an increasing number of tourists into the area each year. |

The Moy river, renowned world-wide by all serious salmon and trout anglers, flows into the sea at Enniscrone. The Moy Estuary is a favourite location for boating and sea trout fishing and also gives access by boat to Ballina town.
Deep sea angling is also a major attraction on the bay, either by boat from Enniscrone pier, or surfcasting along the beaches. |

| Other town attractions for tourists include Enniscrone's famous Seaweed Baths, the interesting local Pitch & Putt course and also the town's various bars and restaurants. Enniscrone is also a focal point for a wide variety of wonderful walks, both shoreline and inland. |
A further MAJOR ADDITION to Enniscrone's tourist facilities is the Waterpoint Centre, opened in April 1998, which provides an indoor swimming pool, fun water slide, kiddies pool, sauna and activity room.
This development has provided an all-weather facility to the resort which will add tremendously to it's attractiveness throughout the season and which will also have the effect of extending the duration of that season in real terms. |
