Ballintoy is wonderfully picturesque, with its sea stacks, islands and pretty harbour. It has been used as a filming location for HBO's Game of Thrones, featuring as the island of Pyke, home of the Greyjoy family. The coastal walking here is excellent, with Carrick-a-Rede to the east and Whitepark Bay Beach and the Giant's Causeway to the west. There are a number of small shops, restaurants and places to stay in the village.

At the harbor there is a small café (unfortunately only open until 17:30 and very few seats) but very delicious scones and a large selection of cakes

Again, you can find the same stone formations as on the Giants causeway. Just follow the pastures along the coast and you will recognize them in places!
