Which route is best for driving from Carrickfergus to Glenarm along the coast?

For the coastal journey, follow the A2 north through Larne and continue towards Ballygally and Glenarm.

This forms part of the Causeway Coastal Route and passes the shoreline rather than the more direct Belfast–Larne A8 inland corridor. Allow time for village approaches and narrow-looking stretches, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area. Enter Glenarm itself as a destination and check for any temporary A2 restrictions before setting out.
