Murlough Bay is one of County Antrim’s most stunning and peaceful coastal spots, tucked away between Fair Head and Torr Head along the Antrim Coast Road. It offers sweeping views across the sea to Rathlin Island and the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland, where dramatic cliffs, quiet beaches, and green hills blend together in perfect harmony. The road down to the bay is steep and winding, but the views are unforgettable, wild, unspoiled, and timeless.

This secluded bay is rich in history and legend. It was said to be a favourite place of Saint Columba and is also the burial site of Irish Republican figure Roger Casement, whose grave overlooks the sea he loved. Today, Murlough Bay is a peaceful retreat for walkers, photographers, and anyone wanting to experience the rugged beauty of the Antrim Coast without the crowds. It is an ideal stop for those exploring the Causeway Coastal Route, offering a glimpse of Northern Ireland at its most serene and untouched.

Note: Step drive down to the cove so be careful on winter days
