Nice beach, sandy and pebbles. Easy access from high street. Can get very busy in summer months. Good for a short or longer walk. Tide comes in very quickly, so be aware and check Tide times!

Love the walk with the sun on your favor

Beautiful beach a bit stoney but still a great beach, spans very far and is well kept, dogs allowed, friendly dogs and people great place

Newcastle Beach is a jewel in Northern Ireland's crown. This sprawling beach offers something for everyone, whether you're a family seeking seaside fun, an adventurer craving stunning scenery, or a nature lover wanting a tranquil escape. The star of the show is the beach itself. With soft, golden sand stretching for miles, it's perfect for building sandcastles, lounging with a book, or taking a refreshing dip in the Irish Sea. The water is clean and clear, and lifeguards patrol during summer, making it a safe haven for splashing around. For the active crowd, the options are endless. Hike or bike along the scenic Newcastle Beach Walk, taking in the breathtaking views of the Mourne Mountains. Kite flying is a popular activity here – the wide-open space and steady breezes make it ideal for sending your colorful creations soaring. And for something truly unique, explore the Murlough National Nature Reserve, a haven for wildlife and home to over 600 species of butterflies! After a day of fun, one can grab some delicious fish and chips from one of the many cafes or restaurants.

Lovely views but the beach was stony, couldn't walk barefoot along it which is my favourite thing to do. Loads of free parking which was great but the toilets were terrible! Dirty smelly and no toilet roll.
