Castlerock Beach

Winner of the Rural Beach Seaside Award in 2014

Castlerock Beach starts at the River Bann Estuary.  This gorgeous, and just under a mile long. It won the Rural Award Beach Seaside Award in 2014 based on the "Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful" 15 criteria. 'Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful' is an 'environmental charity dedicated to making Northern Ireland a cleaner and more pleasant place in which to live'. 

Castlerock Beach is simply beautiful, looking out over the North Atlantic Ocean, perfect for a play with children or go for a swim, surf, fish, horse ride, paddle, kite surf, kayak and more. There is a Life Guard on duty from the 1st June - 15th September. 

There are toilets and parking available and dogs are allowed at certain times of the year. The Promenade offers cycling and walking opportunities with amazing views in every direction. 

Walk all the way to the end of the beach, away from the Town, to be able to explore through the small bays, and rock pools.  Fun for the children, take a ball with you for a spot of beach footie! 

A lovely place to some time, Castlerock Beach is one of our favourite walk-and-play beaches along the Causeway Coast. It is West of the River Bann Estuary, with Portstewart Strand just on the other side. 

Meander to the beach using the stairs and paths from the Promenade or a walk down Sea Road, there is disabled access from several locations along the shoreline and plenty of parking. 

Castlerock Golf Course backs on to the beach

If you're a golfer the Castlerock beach is perfectly situated behind the beach, the dunes and heathland. The Golf Course provides a peaceful haven set in this naturally beautiful landscape and offers 18 holes on the Mussenden Course and 9 holes on the Bann Course.  The experience of golfing at Castlerock is one you will never forget.

The friendly people and breathtaking views are all good reasons to visit Castlerock, not to mention the absolutely fresh air!
