Castaways Wine Bar has a fine cellar and selection of beers and spirits to complement the light meals and tapas available from late morning. The Ganges Restaurant is right next door offering an excellent À La Carte menu. Both make the most of the local fresh seafood and organic produce in their menus.

Other facilities are a launderette, yacht club (which welcomes visitors), sailing club for the blind, plus the local fast water taxi, Aquacab, which can take you anywhere in the Carrick Roads in minutes - faster than by road!
