The coastline has a number of beaches. The peninsula's fishing villages, bird watching on the mudflats of Bannow Estuary, deep sea angling, snorkeling and swimming are part of the area's maritime life.[citation needed] The area's rivers, valleys, estuaries and hills have long provided south-west Wexford with rich grazing land.[citation needed]
