A rugged coastal route linking beaches, sea stacks and cliff viewpoints with the Mourne Mountains as a dramatic backdrop. Photograph sweeping seascapes, rocky foregrounds, tidal pools and coastal flora; ideal for sunrise and sunset color, long exposures and mountain reflections after rain. Accessible from Ballagh Rd/Newcastle with roadside parking and short walks to viewpoints. Expect changeable weather—dress layered; no entry fees. Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds.
