Clogherhead peninsula located just north of the village is designated a Natural Heritage Area under the 1997 Louth County Development Plan.

Clogherhead offers plenty for tourists to see and do all year round. There are plenty of fine walks - the headland affords uninterrupted views of the Mourne Mountains 30km to the north and to Lambay Island 35km to the south - and there are some of Ireland's finest championship links golf courses nearby.
