What You'll Find

Ballycastle Beach is a lovely family day out with a broad sandy beach with views towards Rathlin Island and Fair Head. Whether you are planning a full adventure or just looking for something different to do with the wee ones, there is plenty here to enjoy.

Bring the buckets and spades and find a spot for sandcastles, paddling and a good run around. The beach stretches out from the town, with lovely coastal views and plenty for little explorers to watch. You can combine beach time with a promenade stroll, the harbour and a treat in Ballycastle, making it a brilliant simple seaside day.

It is the sort of outing where taking your time makes all the difference. Let the children lead the exploring, stop when something catches their eye and enjoy making a few family memories together.
