Head to Ursa Minor for a high quality cup of craft coffee and the best sourdough bread on this island. You can’t go wrong with any of their treats and pastries.

Ballintoy Harbour is just up the coastal road from Ballycastle and has absolutely stunning views of the coast. There is also a nice walk along the edge of the site.

The ferry to Rathlin Island leaves from Ballycastle Harbour most days. Rathlin can be explored on foot or bicycle, with bikes available to rent when you get off the ferry. It is definitely worth a visit - especially between April and July when the puffins are out and about.
