Brown’s Bay

Season: autumn

Brown’s Bay sits at the top of County Antrim’s Islandmagee Peninsula.  It is the more easterly of two adjacent crescent-shaped, sandy beaches.  The stream that crosses the beach is popular with dam-building adults and children alike and the bathing water is clean.  Regular beach cleans further complement the unspoilt ambiance here.  Access is good via steps or a slipway and the car park is nearby.  In the distance to the north is Scotland’s Mull of Kintyre, with Stranraer almost within touching distance to the east.  This is a peaceful, secluded spot.
