There is much to see and do in and around Portpatrick. The village focus is naturally around the harbour, with its annual Sailing Ships Festival, the annual RIB Race from Bangor, the Lifeboat Week and Folk Festival - to name but a few events! The harbourside is less than 40 metres from Albony Guest House. |

Portpatrick has two general shops, both with ATM machines, three antique-curio shops, a glass engraver, numerous hotels and bars offering meals from bar-snacks to A La Carte and plenty by way of live entertainment. Albony Guest House is well situated for everything the village has to offer. Try Campbell's for seafood! |

 Dunskey Castel, now a ruin, once home to a piratical Clan who were eventually besieged by other local clans. |
 Portpatrick Harbour can see some massive seas depending on the season. Spectacular. |

The coastline around Portpatrick is rugged. The coastal path offers stunning views across to Ireland, whilst the cliffs abound with birdlife circling above the marine life below - seals, basking sharks, tope and dolphins are common visitors to the local waters. Whilst in Portpatrick, why not try a day's angling with a local charter operator? Ask around the harbour for more details! |

There are numerous gardens locally, such as Glenwhan, Dunskey and Logan Botanic, open to the public in season. Above the village are two Golf Courses, (Dunskey and Portpatrick) with more slightly further afield, such as the Stranraer Golf Club (set along the shores of Loch Ryan). |
