Along the shoreline you can see seals, seabirds and occasionally otters.  Wildfowl and waders can be watched on the loch of Brochan, while the RSPB reserve at Cottiscarth is a good place to see hen harriers.  In the vicinity, there is an interesting doocot at the Hall of Rendall and a preserved broch at Gurness.  There are plenty of other activities to do in the area, including walking, beach-combing, and fishing. The ferry terminal to the northers isles of Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre is also within close proximity. Open all year. Brochure available.
