The sheltered bay the two villages share, calm enough for paddleboarding, kayaking and beginner sailing, with seals, seabirds and the occasional dolphin for company.
Sheephaven is the sheltered inlet the two villages share, ringed by the Ards peninsula on one side and the Horn Head road on the other. The shape of the land keeps the water calm enough for beginners.
Seals haul out on the rocks near the harbour, herons and oystercatchers work the shoreline, and dolphins and basking sharks pass through in the summer. Kayak, paddleboard and sailing tuition all run on the bay.
