Ballycastle Beach is a picturesque sandy beach located in the town of Ballycastle on the north coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Ballycastle Beach is one of the great places to watch the sunset on the north coast of Northern Ireland.

Ballycastle Beach offers stunning views of Rathlin Island, which is the only inhabited offshore island in Northern Ireland. On clear days, the coastline of Scotland may also be visible across the North Channel.

The beach provides opportunities for various water activities, including swimming and paddling. While the waters may be brisk, especially in the cooler months, its a popular spot to enjoy taking a dip.
