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.

Crawfordsburn Country Park has two excellent beaches, views across Belfast Lough, scenic walks and a stunning waterfall. The large visitor centre and café is open seven days a week with a natural play area, geology garden and miles of designated walking routes. The Woodland’s Café at Crawfordsburn Country Park is open every day from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm.

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.

19th-century folly and lookout tower near Bangor. Named after the 5th Baron's mother, Helen. He intended it as a shrine for poems - Tennyson's Helen's Tower is the best known of them. Well worth a stop off to explore the architecture.

nice trail run up the tower

This unique country park is made up of beautiful woodland landscapes that merge into golden beaches and the crashing waves of the Belfast Lough. The park is home to diverse wildlife such as seals, guillemots and shags. You can explore the woodlands, meadows, glens, beaches and waterfalls on the network of footpaths. There's also a cafe for a midway pitstop.

A lovely walk especially from Helens Bay - through rolling country side, however there is no signage but reasonable easy to follow - that is until to come to Helen's Tower - if you find it give yourself a Mars bar and if you manage to find your way to your cat at Whitespots car park - give yourself two Mars bars. Enjoy :-)
