Why it belongs on the list
A memorable stop in Antrim.
East Strand, West Strand and nearby Whiterocks support Northern Ireland’s strongest surf scene. Different exposure across the beaches creates options, but winter power and changing currents demand informed spot choice.
Use this guide as a starting point, then confirm current access, opening arrangements, weather and local safety information before travelling. Allow enough time to enjoy the setting without rushing, and leave paths, beaches and viewing areas as you found them.
