The village itself is surrounded by rich farm and woodland, and in the surrounding countryside are several historic buildings, including Old Allangrange House, near which are the ruins of Allangrange Chapel.

It is in the field of birdwatching, however, that Munlochy Bay is perhaps most well-known. With its extensive sand and mud flats, and its areas of salt flats, it is a haven for a huge variety of wading birds, ducks and migratory birds. It has been identified as an site of special scientific interest, and its importance is marked by the presence of an R.S.P.B. office in the village.

A healing well was dedicated to St Boniface (or Curidan). There is said to have once been a chapel on the site.  To have your wish granted, you must spill some water three times on the ground, tie a rag torn from your clothes on a nearby tree, make the sign of the cross and then drink from the well. Tradition states that anyone removing a rag will succumb to the misfortunes of the original owner.
