Full Description

White Park Bay is a lovely family day out with a sweeping sandy bay backed by dunes and striking headlands. 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.

There is so much space for children to run, dig and explore on the sand. The views are beautiful, and even a simple shoreline walk feels like an adventure. Access involves a walk down towards the beach, so think about how little legs will manage the return climb. This is a more natural, less developed beach, which is part of its charm but also means planning ahead for what you need.

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.

What You'll Find

White Park Bay is a wide, wild sandy beach on the Causeway Coastal Route, reached by a walk down from the car park. Its open shoreline, dunes and dramatic coastal setting make it ideal for sand play, paddling and a proper beach walk away from the busier resort beaches.
