The natural scenery of Northern Ireland provide arguably the best backdrops in the world to see the sunset.
With the clocks set to go back soon, there is no better time than now to take an evening seaside stroll to watch the light settle behind the water.
Take time to spend some time enjoying the autumn sunset with the help of our guide to 11 fabulous Northern Ireland beaches.
9. Ballygally Beach
Ballygally Beach is an award winning location on the Antrim coast road, sitting at only 300 metres long, arguably the perfect size for sunset watching. Having won the Seaside Award for achieving the required standard of bathing water quality and for its general cleanliness, Ballygally is a benchmark for the rest of the UK and Northern Ireland’s beaches.

10. Whitepark Bay
Often seen as a work of art, Whitepark Bay is a sandy beach that forms a white arc between two headlands on the north Antrim coast. If you are looking to take a dip in the sea before the sunset appears though, you may have to look elsewhere as this beach has branded the sea unsafe for swimming due to dangerous rip currents, although you should still be able to see a variety of wildlife nearby.
