Waterfoot Beach

Waterfoot beach is a popular tourist destination located on the eastern coast of Northern Ireland. The beach is approximately one kilometre in length and is comprised entirely of sand. The bathing area is backed by sand dunes which run the length of the beach and the village of Waterfoot (approx population 500) is at the northern end of the beach. However, the area is essentially rural. There are three caravan parks in the vicinity which cater for the influx of holidaymakers during the summer. The larger one of these backs onto the beach at the northern end. In addition there is a large car park and public toilet facilities located at the northern end with a smaller car park to the southern end.

Water quality is classified as "Good" based on samples taken from the previous 4 years, 2021 through to 2024.
