Strandhill or occasionally Larass is a coastal town and townland on the Coolera Peninsula in County Sligo, Ireland. As of 2016, the population was 1,753, an increase of 10% from the 2011 Census. The old name appears to be Ros Dragnige .
It is suggested the development of Strandhill can be attributed to a Benjamin Murrow who purchased the undeveloped land from the upper road in 1895 for £1,760. He constructed a roadway to the sea for £1000, and offered plots either side of the roadway, which he named Buenos Ayres Drive. In 1912 he constructed a bathhouse to attract visitors. Buenos Ayres drive was conveyed into public ownership in 1928, and the strip of land to the shore in 1936.
