The small port of Ballycotton is legendary for its Sea Angling, great harbour views and spectacular cliff walk.
It is also a great area for bird watching
Sign-posted from the village. Watch out for Choughs and cliff nesting House Martins. Good for seabirds all year round, especially with onshore (southerly) winds in August and September. Stop at the harbour and check for seabirds on the bay and passing the Islands. The garden habitat around the town is also worth checking from the road for migrant passerines.
