The EPA does not monitor this beach for bathing water, so there is no water-quality record. Check locally and follow the signs before you swim.

Lackan Strand offers visitors a beautiful, vast shoreline located in Lackan Bay.

Lackan Strand is a quiet, unspoilt beach with blue waters that are perfect for swimming.

Every May, Lackan Strand hosts the Lackan Strand Races, which attracts visitors for a day of seaside horse racing and other activities.
