It’s one of Northern Ireland’s most scenic beaches, popular for walking, wildlife spotting, and its unspoiled natural beauty rather than swimming. It’s easily to be combined with a walk/hike from the Elephant rock. · via Google [S S](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108509775623618547333/reviews) ★★★★★ Beautiful unspoilt beach which was almost deserted in the middle of august! There’s a small free car park at the top (coaches not allowed so you won’t get big groups coming). Quite a long walk down to the beach but the views on the way are stunning! One of the most beautiful beaches I ever have been to. Not to be missed. · via Google [Noah Von Dauber](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100229378485476320891/reviews) ★★★★★ Definitely one of the most photogenic Vista points I've ever stopped for. The Cliffs are very dramatic and you can see all the way to Scotland. Supposedly this was also a famous filming location for Game of Thrones. · via Google [Barry DJ Baz Thompson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102954107502665815134/reviews) ★★★★★ Parking facilities good , and a nice walk down towards the beach , look out for the rabbits in the field as you approach the beach . It’s not advised that you swim in these waters so obey the rules and if you visit please remember to keep the countryside and beaches clean. It’s a beautiful walk along part of our rugged coastline no matter what the weather is like , this particular day a storm was blowing , but it was so invigorating and really gives the body a wake up call. Remember that the beaches have tidal waters so always be careful when making a visit. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48602de402de0aa3:0x760fe7df7972d9d4!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this beach offers stunning views, golden sand, and is ideal for walking and wildlife spotting.
