The Harbour
There is an excellent beach with launching
ramp, rock and freshwater fishing, and several
boats take sea anglers out from the harbour to
catch wrasse, cod, mackerel, haddock, whiting,
plaice and skate.
Bowls, tennis and putting are available near the
harbour, where water ski-ing is popular during
the season. Horse riding and pony trecking may
be enjoyed at Lochnaw a few miles away. Sub-aqua clubs visit the area to seek and search for the
wrecks to be found along the coast.
One such wreck was the Orion, which sank after
running aground on rocks at the north end of
the village. Of the 60 people drowned, many are
buried in the old churchyard.
The Waterfront Hotel caters for
visitors who like to tour around or simply stay
in the village and enjoy the leisurely life, good
food and good company. Proof of the Port’s
appeal can be seen in the number of people who
return year after year or make the village their
second home.
