Pretty sandy and shingle beach on Red Bay with a children’s play area right beside the beach, grassy areas and a small promenade with paths for an easy family stroll. Kids can paddle, explore the shoreline and play while families enjoy spectacular views across the Sea of Moyle towards Mull of Kintyre in Scotland. There’s parking and toilets by the beach entrance, and the village is only a short walk away for cafés, shops and a treat.
