The harbour retains its importance as one of the busiest in the region with regular landings from Irish Sea shell fishing boats supplying the local processing factories. The Isle's own fleet is engaged in light trawling and lobster fishing.

"The harbour retains its importance as one of the busiest in the region with regular landings from Irish Sea shell fishing boats supplying the local processing factories. The Isle's own fleet is engaged in light trawling and lobster fishing.

The harbour is also home to a growing fleet of leisure craft and is increasingly being used as a stopping off location for pleasure traffic plying the west coast, and as a launching site for trailer based craft such as small angling boats and diving RIB's. "
