Sightseeing

Although our main function is primarily Sea Angling; we are also pleased to provide sight seeing trips. There are many areas of special interest within the bay from Mullaghmore to Inishmurray Island and also Rathlin o Beirne Island where seals can be seen basking on the rocks. There is also the ever popular “Sliabh Liag”. The cliffs of Sliabh Liag rise dramatically out of the ocean to a height of 601m (1972ft), and thus lay claim to be the highest sea-cliffs in Europe.

The richness in colour of the massive rock face provides visual pleasures non-stop. If you need to get your awe inspired, this is as good a place to start as any. And it’s not just the height. Different hues in the rock formation — orange, red and grey, mingled with stains of various metallic ores, accumulate with washed down clays and soils to provide an impossibly colourful background to the restless Atlantic below.

It’s an amazingly historic and romantic place. Along the paths armies have trudged, Spanish sailors from the Armada have taken refuge, smugglers have plied their trade, sheep have munched their way ever onwards. There are still forts and lookout towers from the Napoleonic wars clinging to the edge — and everywhere the crashing sound of the Ocean, the lonely call of seabirds, as well as the occasional "hello" from a pod of dolphins.
