Ardglass, with its magnificent harbour, is one of three major fishing ports in Northern Ireland. Considerable development of the harbour has taken place in recent years and much of the catch brought into the port is exported throughout Europe.

The town has many sporting and social attractions and has become popular over the years for its many water based activities, including an important base for sea angling.
