As a result of the work carried out at the resort, Curracloe shared the award of best Blue Flag Beach in the country in 1992 Our Lady's Island nearby is one of the oldest pilgrimage sites in Ireland. On the route of the pilgrimage are the ruins of an Augustinian Priory and a fine Norman Castle erected in 1237. The lake and its islands are of considerable ornithological value.
