Where should you park when visiting Ballycastle?

The practical answer

For the **town centre**, **Ann Street car park** is one of Ballycastle's main council parking options. For the **seafront, marina, harbour or Rathlin ferry**, use parking on the seafront/harbour side instead of leaving the car up in the town centre unless those areas are full.

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council maintains several Ballycastle car parks with different charging arrangements, so check the current off-street parking table for the exact lot you plan to use.

If you are catching the **Rathlin ferry**, build in extra time. Both the ferry operator and nidirect warn that parking close to the terminal is limited at peak times.

For an ordinary town visit, park once and walk between Ann Street, the seafront and shops rather than repeatedly moving the car.
