The bay is scenic and accessible from a National Trust carpark (next to a youth hostel). The walk down to the shore is a little tough for mobility impaired people, but the view is worth the try.

With its stunning views and white sand beaches, White Park Bay was a great stop during a day-long trip along the Antrim coast.

To me this beach is truly amazing and one that I go back to over and over again, whilst I've travelled to other countries and seen many other beaches, I still list White Park Bay as my favourite...

Beautiful beach with stunning scenery from the walk down to the beach. Beach is clean ....not very much litter and as we met beach cleaning volunteers heading down, this is probably why. Thanks to those taking time to look after this beauty spot. It's just a pity that this is even necessary. Please take your litter home

Super place to walk, even though quite steep. Beautiful and serene. Will definitely go back again!
-
Not for those scared of heights or rickety rope bridges. Amazing scenery and wildlife and lovely walk.
-
Beautiful beach but you can't swim here because of the undercurrents
-
Beautiful stretch of beach with soft golden sands. However, if swimming is your thing this is not the place for you as the bay has powerful riptides. If you are lucky you may be here when the 'beach dwelling' cows that help protect the fauna on the dunes are. Be warned there is a steep climb down to the beach and subsequently back up. Very limited parking for such a big beach.
