Very clean lovely food camping there’s really fun onto the beach has so many hidden treasures we found a backbone of a dolphin that’s worth £500 and we found a shark’s tooth before as well. The park is very good It’s recently been done so it’s very clean under the café members are very kind. Definitely recommend for your days out

Flat green walking area on the shore. Paved footpaths. A decent child play area with ladders, swings and slides, and soft rubber pavement. Full of young kids and mothers on a sunny day. Plenty of local joggers and dog walkers. An open band stand used by Salvation Army pipe bands and the like in summer. An ice-cream and coffee parlour. No wifi. Toilets work but are dirty. A reasonably sized parking lot, free but time restricted, and closed during the dark hours.

The park sits right on the lough, offering great views across to Holywood. You can get teas, coffees, snacks and ice-cream at the café and there are toilet facilities. There is a large open green area on either side of the car park which is great for family outings and picnics. There is also outdoor gym equipment if you're feeling energetic! The area on the right of the car park has a well equipped playground for kids of all ages. Lovely place to relax and watch the world go by. You might even be fortunate enough to catch a brass band playing in the bandstand.
