(Left) Donaghadee's Arun lies snugly stern-to the South Pier just inside the harbour entrance - which is open to the north east.

The way in which the harbour shoals is very evident, and regular dredging is needed to ensure there is enough water to float the Arun at all states of the tide. The waterline almost in line with the inshore end of the isolated North Pier indicates that it almost low water.The boathouse (below) is the stone building with the pitched roof (the portable building is the harbour office) and is at the tip of the triangle of buildings visible at the root of the pier in the main photograph.

The light blue, almost circular shape at the lower right is a childrens paddling pool and sitting area - created by infilling a small old inner harbour.
