Introducing Ballycastle

The harbour town and holiday resort of Ballycastle (Baile an Chaisil) marks the eastern end of the Causeway Coast. It’s a pretty town with a good bucket-and-spade beach, but apart from that, there’s not a lot to see. It’s also the port for ferries to Rathlin Island.

The tourist information office (2076 2024; tourism@moyle-council.org; 7 Mary St; 9.30am-7pm Mon-Fri Jul & Aug, 9.30am-5pm Mon-Fri Sep-Jun) is in the district council building at the east end of town. There are a couple of banks with ATMs on Ann St, near the diamond.
