Rosses Point is covered by the new by laws in Sligo. You cannot kite in a lifeguarded area. The lifeguard area extends from the first beach (near the car park) to half way down the second beach (near the big buoy stuck in the sand). If in doubt, ask one of the lifeguards on duty, they are nice people. This restriction applies when a lifeguard is on duty, ie. June to September.
