A huge recreational pier on this coast, built around 160 years ago by the then UK Prime Minister John Temple. He was given a large piece of land (from removing local villagers) in Tullaghmore, where he built his Castle Classiebawn, and this pier, which has never flourished for commercial use.

Told by local, just behind the Pier Head Hotel is the entrance (no sign) to a lobster holding place where they sell to walk in customer too. The owner collects catches (lobster, crayfish, brown crab) from fishermen in the area and keep them for export. The place can keep 40,000 lobsters and with minimum feeding, they can stay alive and in good shape for 6 months. Major markets are France, Spain, Italy and Hong Kong.
