About This Place

This long strip of sand at the foot of the Antrim Glens is one of the most popular on this stretch of the Co Antrim coast. Despite its relative popularity Waterfoot beach still manages to retain a fairly tranquil laid-back feel. Backed by extensive dunes to the southern end of the beach and the village of Waterfoot to the north. --> The backdrop of Glenariff makes for some impressive scenery, particularly the view looking southwards along the beach.

💡 Our Take

Waterfoot Beach, nestled on the Antrim Coast, is a brilliant year-round escape for your furry best friend! The sandy shores are perfect for zoomies, plus dogs are welcome any time. Parking is readily available nearby and while immediate facilities are limited, Cushendall village is a short hop away. While seemingly calm, be mindful of currents when swimming. Waterfoot is generally ideal for dogs who are well-socialised and love a good run on the beach. Tip: bring fresh water, especially on warmer days, as there isn't readily available fresh water on the waterfoot beach. Perfect for playful bigger breeds!
