Strangford Lough entrance, enabling yachts to berth and wait for a favourable tide into the Lough. It is also used as a stopover for yachts on passage north or south in theIrish Sea . The chain fixed pontoon is open 24 hours daily all year and provides good shelter within the small confines of the harbour. The harbour is divided by an outcrop of rocks and this separates the marina from the fishing harbour, due south.
