Days Out in Cushendun

The sea caves at Cushendun were carved by nature and borrowed by film-makers — dramatic enough in real life not to need any extra selling.

🌊By the seabeaches & coast

From there, the coastal walk to Torr Head is one of the best stretches of the Antrim coast, with seals at the headland if you're patient.

Three beaches within easy reach, Layd Old Church for a quieter stop, and Watertop Open Farm if you've got younger kids. Rainy-day indoor options are thin here — this is an outdoors area through and through.
