The bay is scenic and accessible from a National Trust carpark (next to a youth hostel). The walk down to the shore is a little tough for mobility impaired people, but the view is worth the try.

With its stunning views and white sand beaches, White Park Bay was a great stop during a day-long trip along the Antrim coast.

Beautiful beach with stunning scenery from the walk down to the beach. Beach is clean ....not very much litter and as we met beach cleaning volunteers heading down, this is probably why. Thanks to those taking time to look after this beauty spot. It's just a pity that this is even necessary. Please take your litter home

Super place to walk, even though quite steep. Beautiful and serene. Will definitely go back again!
