Where should you park when visiting Magilligan Point?

Use the free car park opposite the Lough Foyle ferry terminal or the parking by the Martello Tower. Visit Causeway Coast & Glens specifically recommends these for Magilligan Point.

The practical answer

For **Magilligan Point**, official tourism guidance says to use the **car park opposite the ferry terminal** or the parking at the **Martello Tower**. Parking is listed as **free**.

If your aim is the beach and nature-reserve walk, the Martello Tower side is particularly useful: park on the left near the reserve boundary, then continue on foot through the gate toward the tower and shore.

Point Road narrows on the approach, so drive slowly and do not use bends or passing places as overflow parking.

The beach itself is pedestrian access at this point; leave the vehicle in the proper parking area rather than attempting to drive onto the shore.
