Sightseeing
A fabulous walk with great views out across to Rathlin island and some of the Scottish Isles leads you to the famous Carrick-a-rede rope bridge. It's a right of passage for any visiting the North Coast... just don't look down if you are wary of heights (but the views are amazing)

Whitepark Bay Beach
A stunning secluded bay near Ballintoy (our family favourite!)
Portrush Whiterocks Beach
Another beautiful beach, perfect for walks with the dog
A brilliant stretch of beach that takes you up to the Bar Mouth, with fabulous views of Musseden Temple and Castlerock across the River Bann. The sand dunes are also great for children and dogs to explore and there are routes through these to the River Bann (also lovely and peaceful to walk alongside)
