Does this review count if it’s in Northern Ireland and not Scotland? I’d argue that it’s the same sea, just different shores so on that basis it deserves to be here.

I was in Northern Ireland in September was lucky to be staying in the small village of Cushendun during the heatwave. Every day was mid 20s and blue skies. It was more like the Mediterranean than the Irish Sea. But, even with such fantastic conditions, this was a great place for a swim. A

Water Quality

Crystal clear.

Swim Quality

Nice and shallow near the beach and very easy to swim and never be too far from a spot you can stand up, if you want to.

Other people

I suspect it wasn’t just because of the weather that this was a popular spot. I saw swimmers every time I passed the beach. It’s a busy place.

Overall

Just a great spot for a swim if you happen to be in this part of the world.
