Beautiful beach, empty on the weekday morning we visited. Surfers and a handful of people walking. Come at low tide to explore the caves. Excellent views of Dunluce Castle.

Beautiful beach, perfectly peaceful first thing in the morning during the week. A little but tight getting down to the carpark but as long as you're not trying to visit during peak time you'll be fine accessing the car park.
