It’s not all romantic and rugged coastlines. But that is a large part of it.
Benone Strand Beach Walk, Londonderry
7 miles of white sandy gloriousness in Northern Ireland – who knew? This has to be one of the most beautiful walks to take in Londonderry, and one of the easiest too.
The standard walk along the North Coast is only a couple of miles long, but you can walk the entire stretch of the beach from Downhill to Magilligan Point. You can also bring your pup if you're visiting outside of May and September, but it's definitely at its most enjoyable on a warm (as warm as it gets in NI) summer's day.
The Giant's Causeway Coastal Walk, Antrim
In two miles you can squeeze in all of Northern Ireland's only World Heritage Site. Whilst it might seem like the "'touristy" thing to do, it's still pretty damn cool to walk over the giant, honeycomb-shaped rocks, and ponder at how they were actually formed.
The walk itself takes you down to the beach, over the Causeway and up towards the cliffs again. If you're wanting to get the perfect Instagram, make sure you head down before the crowds hit the rocks. There's something about small children that ruins those moody long exposure shots.
