UPDATE AUGUST 2022
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 2nd Aug 2022
I reviewed these notes in August 2022; no changes
Update Early Summer 2021
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 28th Jun 2021
I reviewed these notes at the end of June 2021. This harbour is no longer anything to do with Bangor Marina (which is now run by "Boatfolk") and is now run by the Ards and North Down Council. They have laid visitors buoys but they have been let to local residents!
UPDATE APRIL 2017
Written by Don Thomson | 10th Apr 2017
I reviewed these notes in April 2017. Quay Marinas are still "in charge" here and the HM is an employee of theirs but the feeling I get is that this little harbour is left pretty well to look after itself!
Update Spring 2016 (Correction)
Written by dononshytalk | 11th Apr 2016
The operators are Quay Marinas not Qauyside marinas as stated below
Update Spring 2016
Written by dononshytalk | 6th Apr 2016
The harbour is now being operated by Quayside Marine for the local Council and now charge harbour dues. The rest remains as before.
Update 2015
Written by dononshytalk | 27th Mar 2015
These notes were reviewed by Don in March 2015 and, again, no changes were made.
