Ballycastle Beach
Drop anchor off Ballycastle Beach, a sweeping 1.2km stretch of sand on the Antrim Coast, sitting right along the famous Causeway Coast Route in Northern Ireland. It's a classic seaside town with real charm — a picturesque harbour, great cafes, and easy access to shore make it well worth a stop. From here you're also well-placed to explore the wider Causeway Coast, with its dramatic scenery and iconic landmarks nearby.
