Season: autumn

The village of Glenarm and its beach sit at the foot of the first of the Glens of Antrim.  Nestled next to the beach is a small harbour and a marina, giving good access to excellent sailing waters.  Boat trips for visitors run from the marina and fishing is popular here.  The beach is pebbled and there is a promenade running behind it.  The nearby woods and glens attract walkers, who are looked after in the village by pubs, shops and eateries.  The car park is handily located at the eastern end of the beach and you’ll find a grassy area for picnics there too.
