Where should you park when visiting Benone Strand?

The practical answer

For **Benone Strand**, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council provides **free parking at the entrance** and also permits **on-beach parking** under the normal beach arrangements.

If you are in a low-clearance car, unfamiliar with driving on sand, or the surface is soft after weather/tide changes, the sensible choice is to leave the vehicle at the entrance instead of driving farther onto the strand.

Accessible parking is provided at the beach facilities.

Benone is a very long beach, so parking on the sand can reduce walking distance, but only do it when the entrance is open and local conditions/signage make clear that vehicle access is suitable that day.
