Locally, there are lovely walks along the shoreline; with the White Strand beach, and a Blue Flag Beach at Lisfannon to the south, while along the northern shore, a paved pathway will get you from Castle bridge, past Vaughan House and O'Doherty's Keep, onto Ned's Point, Porthaw Beach and finally Stragill Beach. Admire beautiful coastal scenery along the way, and there are benches laid out at intervals along the path, where you can catch your breath and enjoy the views, or maybe watch the sunset. After Stragill the path ends; and at this point you may want to turn around.(- or if you are really fit you can continue on to Linsfort and Dunree.)
