Description: Magilligan Point As the coast changes from time to time the channel marker at Magilligan is some way from the shore. It is now a popular perch for cormorants and shags. The Point was a welcome homecoming marker during WW2 for the North Atlantic convoy escorts based in Lough Foyle. If lucky they got to go right in, moor up for a few hours and allow half a watch a little time ashore in Londonderry -if not it was straight to the refuelling point off Moville. Taken from the shoreline at Magilligan beach, Greencastle harbour and church can be seen beyond.
