"A short visit to Ballycastle" Ballycastle by MalenaN

Ballycastle Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 48 photos

Ballycastle is a pretty little town on the north Antrim Coast. The town only has around 4000 inhabitants, but in summer many tourists come here. There is a small harbour and from there you can take the ferry over to Rathlin Island. There is a nice sandy beach where you can take walks, or sunbath and swim in summer. Ballycastle is situated on the eastern edge of the Causeway coast so it is easy to visit places like the Gigant’s Causeway, Bushmills Destilery or the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge both with own or public transportation.

Ballycastle is less than 20 minutes away by bus from Ballintoy where I stayed so I thought it could be nice to explore the town for an hour or two. Before leaving Ballintoy my battery charger didn’t work (but luckily it was fixed later in the evening) so I didn’t want to use the camera too much during my walk around Ballycastle, therefore I don’t have many photos from the town.

Looks lovely! Would love to return to N. Ireland as I've only seen Belfast.

Not sure I've ever seen such sunny skies in photos of Ireland, Malena but you captured the rare occurrence well! An area I'd like to get back to one day.

Too bad your battery charger didn't work, but the photos look good anyway.
