Features
The marina has approximately 80 berths and is can be used by local and visiting yachts. It is just south of the entrance to Strangford Lough, and yachts are able to berth if they need to wait for a favourable tide to get into the Lough. It is also used as a stopover point for yachts travelling up or down the Irish Sea coast. The Marina is a chain fixed pontoon and is open 24 hours a day all year round. It provides good shelter for boats and is separated from the fishing harbour to the south by an outcrop of rocks.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
