What visitors say
Sun came out so we visited the beach and it was beautiful. Sand not as dry and powdered as more other beaches but there're grass verges for bathing and drying off. Nice coastal walks as well with an American style forest park with its own adventurous paths.

Beautiful waterfall and forestry. However we love the beach and often go cold dipping there, or walk the coast and dip in Helens bay. You will love this place. It also has amazing food at Woodlands cafe.

Crawfordsburn country park is a forest park with convenient access to the Crawfordsburn beach and a short walk from Helen's bay. We visited here for a stroll and were not disappointed, the views are beautiful and the paths well maintained. There is a visitor's centre with a cafe and lots of picnic benches for those with a BBQ or picnic. Overall we loved our trip here and will be back as soon as the weather permits! 😊

This is a wonderful green space welcoming to all with beautiful small sand and shingle beaches on the shore of Belfast Lough. The Park is welcoming to dogs and there are places to get water if needed. The restaurant cafe and toilet facilities in the Welcome centre are clean and pleasant to use. On a sunny day the terrace outside the cafe is a perfect place to have a cup of coffee. There are many walks lined up on the maps around the centre and the walk along the beach is amazing definitely worth the trip out there for a full day.
