Causeway Coast and Glens has once again been highlighted for its outstanding beaches in the 16th edition of the Times and Sunday Times Best UK Beaches guide.
The guide which only includes beaches where the water quality is rated excellent, awarded Ballycastle the winning spot for Northern Ireland, while White Park Bay and Benone were also shortlisted alongside Murlough in County Down.
Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Ciarán McQuillan said: “I am delighted that 3 of our beaches have featured on the Best UK beaches guide.
“Our Destination team has just launched their new summer guide and our beaches are just one of many draws for visitors to the Borough. The guide also covers the best places to picnic and for those who love the beach, seaside restaurants are also highlighted.
“With so many of us holidaying at home I’d encourage you to plan your next break by visiting Council’s dedicated site visitcausewaycoastandglens.com where there is a wealth of information to help you plan your next trip.”
Staying with the seaside theme, the summer guide also covers the many and varied water-based activities that visitors to the Borough can book, from surfing to sea safaris and coasteering.
Kerrie McGonigle Destination Manager said: “We know that here in the Borough our fantastic scenery and award-winning beaches are a real draw for visitors.
“For our summer campaign we’ve worked closely with local tourism providers to showcase what they offer, so whether it’s a wellness experience, horse riding on the beach or sunset cocktails – Causeway Coast and Glens has plenty to offer.”
