North Bull Island Nature Reserves

These two reserves comprise 1,436 hectares, of which 1,318 are State-owned and 118 are privately owned.

The island is covered with dune grassland. An extensive salt marsh lies to the northwest and at extreme low tides there are extensive mud flats between the island and the mainland. The reserves are of international scientific importance for Brent Geese and also on botanical, ornithological, zoological and geomorphological grounds.
