A beautiful little reserve you can walk around the island when the tide is out. The path weaves like a ribbon out to the island. The island and surrounding lough is home to many bird species. Its a wonderful place for a walk, to sit ans reflect and listen to nature's choir. Perfect to escape from the daily grind, this place resets your mind and feeds your soul. PLEASE PUT LITTER IN THE BIN, RIGHT IN THE BIN (the gulls here are sneaky and will pull litter out to feed on scraps) The toilets are open about 8am to 6pm, really clean and the bins up here are emptied regularly.

A beautiful, peaceful coastal spot that's perfect for a short, relaxing walk. The winding path takes you along mossy rocks and tidal views, with stunning natural patterns in the sand at low tide. It's not a long walk, but the scenery is refreshing and calming, making it a great little escape into nature.

Haven't been here for a while and we hit it on a day when luckily enough the tide was out. We were able to reach the island but beware, if the tide has just gone out the causeway can be quite slippery. It gets better as it dries of course. Great scenery but sad to see empty beer cans and plastic bottles way out here as there are plenty of litter bins back at the well kept car park. There are also plenty of seats and picnic tables. Definitely a nice walk but only if the tide is out.

Beautiful views across Strangford Lough. You can have a lovely walk across the causeway to the island at low tide (slippery surface) and walk around the island. Be aware of the tides at all times, you can get stranded as the tide comes in very quickly!

Have experienced both the high tide and low tide, as soon as its low tide pathaay to the island seems clear and walkable, be carefull of the pathway might be slippery some time. Nice place for your dogs as well.

Beautiful walk along the coast and the island. Just be careful of the changing of the tides, you don't want to get stuck!

Beautiful location at North West short of Strangford Lough. Ideal for picnic, or short walk across causeway or around island. Suitable for dogs. Beware of high tide making causeway uncrossable. Toilets open during day. Ruins of small house on island. Great views
