Beautiful beach to stop for kids to play in the sand, or to get in for a dip

Located in East Belfast, Belmont Park is a pleasant park with a large network of paths, grassland and gorgeous seasonal bluebell meadows.

Helen's Bay Beach is one of two excellent beaches found in Crawfordsburn Country Park. These beautiful sandy beaches are by far the best within the Belfast area and as such are exceptionally popular and well used. Helen's Bay Beach is gently shelving and has excellent water quality making it ideal for bathing. The country park provides an excellent back drop to the beach, with wooded headlands, meadows, quality walks and good facilities. There are disabled toilets and disabled parking a short distance from the beach. A path suitable for wheelchair users leads from the car park to a path running adjacent to it. Nearby Crawfordsburn Country Park has a Cafe / Restaurant, Car Parking, Picnic Sites,Toilets, and a Visitor Centre.

A real gem of a coastal route considering just how close it is to Belfast. You can ride on through past the logistics base ( its just vehicles that cant ), and on to Holywood. At the beginning of the Coastal route, just after the Airport Road entrance there are wetlands, popular with migrating birds, and an inlet to the left where you will find the best collection of intact seashells I have seen. Perfect spot for a sunset too. And the row of different coloured Houses on the Esplanade are a real charm. You can continue on to Bangor via the North Down coastal path. That route is perhaps more suited to a Bike with at least 8 Gears, and Tyres no smaller than 25s. I have completed it on a Track Bike, but it was a bit of a bone shaker.

There is a great Pub / Restaurant on route, just passed The Esplanade called 'The Dirty Duck'. Boasts a Beer Garden with perfect vistas of the Lough and Cave Hill.

Lovely rest spot. The light seems to last forever over the hills.

This impressive fort was built in the 20th century and is one of the best preserved forts in the British Isles! It played a huge role in the defenses of Belfast during WW1 & WW2.

Here a rocky outcrop provides some excellent views east toward Crawfordsburn Country Park and west toward Helen's Bay Beach, and, on a clear day, all the way to Belfast.

Beautiful sandy inlet on the shores of Crawfordsburn Country Park. You can enjoy some spectacular scenery and views toward Belfast Lough as well as a peek at the magnificent Crawfordsburn House which stands overlooking the sea.

On Helen's Bay coastline, Grey Point Fort was built to protect the Belfast Lough in 1907. It is one of the best preserved 20th-century coastal forts in the British Isles. The fort is now a military museum exhibiting historic memorabilia from the First and Second World Wars. You can also visit the fort's observation post and three searchlight positions.

Part of the North Down coastal path from Holywood through to Bangor and out to Orlock head-hard surface all the way with some inclines a distance of 16 m. Grey Point Fort at Helensbay going back to WW 2-has gun placements with history of the Fort- CHECK IF OPEN if you are just going to see the Fort.

A great gravel / singletrack path (shared with pedestrians) hugging the shore of Belfast Lough. It's mostly flat and easy to ride even on 25 or 28mm road rubber with a few shorter, rockier, more technical sections. For more information, see: http://www.walkni.com/walks/2/north-down-coastal-path/

Nice safe golden sandy beach with views across Belfast Lough to County Antrim. Great for swimming and dog walking. The coastal path round to Bangor can be cycled but is more suited to a gravel or Mountain Bike than a road bike.

Nice location to stop and watch the Sun set on a Summers evening behind the Belfast hills.
