Ballycastle

Overview

Although surrounded by some of Northern Ireland's top outdoor attractions, from Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge to the iconic Giant's Causeway, the beautiful beaches of Ballycastle are more than enough reason to visit.

Once you've made the most of the shoreline, all those beloved destinations are virtually around the corner. For even more adventure, catch a ferry from the harbour to Rathlin Island, home to puffins and medieval landmarks.
