Things to do in Ballintoy

Activities, attractions and tours

Unrivalled coastal scenery in Carrick-A-Rede and Larrybane Bay. Definitely one of the most beautiful coastline I have visited! The main reason why I wanted to visit Northern Ireland is to see the Giant Causeway, so seeing the beauty of Antrim Coastal Road was a pleasant surprise. Our tour guide was pretty funny too.
