Where is the most practical parking for Ballycastle Beach and promenade?

Ballycastle Beach runs east from the marina towards Pans Rock, with a promenade at the western end. Parking around the marina and harbour is useful for reaching the seafront without having to park beside the sand.

The official Causeway Coast guide identifies the marina and harbour car parks and describes the beach as mainly sand with some shingle. It also lists accessible amenities around the seafront. Parking regulations and any charges are separate from the public’s access to the beach itself.

Practical advice: Check the tariff and maximum stay displayed in the exact car park you use. The marina is also a ferry area, so allow extra time for arriving traffic and keep ferry and service access clear.
