The Loch of Strathbeg is a nature reserve managed by the RSPB. It's Britain’s largest dune loch and a very important watering hole for a fifth of the world’s Pink Footed Geese. It's also home to a variety of other sea and wetland birds.
The nature reserve and visitor centre are a couple of hundred meters up the gravel road from this point, it's not too bad on road wheels. The visitor centre is open 9:00 - 17:00 every day.

A bit of a stoney track up to the nature reserve, but only for a quarter of a mile at the most.
