I’m not sure if it’s canon, but in Game of Thrones: A Telltale Game Series the master of arms of House Forrester gained his position by developing and enacting a plan to drive the Ironborn out of Sea Dragon Point during the Greyjoy rebellion.

It’s by the sea, which means it’s accessible to their longships. And a peninsula, unlike regular coastline, offers a natural bottleneck which can mitigate the Ironborn’s natural weakness in numbers.
