Advantages: The beach, scenery

Disadvantages: Stupid people leaving rubbish around

A beautiful beach in Co. Derry, one of the nicest beaches in Northern Ireland. The beach covers about 11km stretching from Magilligan Point to Downhill. The beach was awarded the European blue flag and holds various designations such as being an area of special scientific interest and as a nature reserve.

It is a very beautiful place, the sand is golden, the sea cold (usually) but the views across to Co. Donegal are perfect. The view of the eighteenth century Downhill temple from the beach is very picturesque.

Lifeguards are on duty at peak times during the year and activities are planned for these times. Jet skiing, angling and surfing are popular at the beach and people flock here on the rare sunny days. There are plenty of attractions within easy reach, there is a visitors complex nearby that has a host of activities for families.

Summary: Beautiful beach in NI
