Great views from the point. To the South you will see the high cliffs of Marwick Head, and can probably just make out the stone tower of the Kitchener Memorial.

Ahead, (depending on the tide) is the causeway leading to the Brough of Birsay, a must visit if you've timed the tides right.

Great views of a stormy sea, the broch of birsay and the lighthouse. at low tide you can also walk across.
