Perched high above the rugged North Antrim coastline, Magheracross Viewpoint offers one of the most spectacular panoramas in Northern Ireland. Located between Portrush and Bushmills, this scenic stop provides sweeping views over Whiterocks Beach, Dunluce Castle, and the dramatic limestone cliffs that tumble down to the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day, you can see right across to Donegal and even catch a glimpse of the Isle of Islay in Scotland.

A series of walkways and viewing platforms make it easy to take in the breathtaking scenery, with the sea crashing below and seabirds wheeling overhead. Whether you arrive at sunrise or sunset, the light across the cliffs and ocean creates a view that’s nothing short of magical.

Note: This is one of the key stops on a lot of bus tours so at times it can get very busy but still worth a visit!
