Places to Visit (North Coast)

Whiterocks Beach

The natural formations of Whiterocks' coastline provide a fascinating and breathtaking insight into the landscaping talents of the sea. Scattered in the coastal waters are shipwrecks, each with their own story to tell. The rugged cliffs, lined with pocket caves, signify years of weathering and provide shelter to the sandy beach. Whether you are looking for a family trip out on a summer's day or fancy a brisk walk in the cool winter air, Whiterocks does not fail to satisfy; it is a naturally stunning blue flag beach. There is safe access to the beach for disabled visitors, plus designated parking. For the intrepid golfer Royal Portrush (its fifth hole overlooks this popular surf beach) is nearby and, for the inexperienced, there is a pitch and putt course.

Mount Sandel

Irelands history starts here! Ireland was one of the last places in Northern Europe to be settled by humans during the middle stone-age, or Mesolithic period. The Mesolithic site at Mount Sandel was excavated during the 1970s by Peter Woodman of University College Cork. Woodman found evidence of up to seven structures, at least four of which may represent rebuilding’s. Radiocarbon dates at the site indicate that Mount Sandel is one of the earliest human occupations in Ireland, first occupied around 7000 BC.
