Activities and Family Activities in County Antrim

Watersports and outdoor activities are becoming increasingly popular along the North Coast of Antrim, with surfing in particular growing in interest among locals. Another popular sport played across Antrim is golf, and the area is home to some of Northern Ireland's finest golf courses, including Royal Portrush.

Plan a day trip into the nearby city of Belfast and enjoy the great shops and sites of Northern Ireland's capital city. The Titanic Visitor Experience and St George's Market are two popular attractions you must get along to when in Belfast, and lunch in the gardens of the impressive City Hall is also a must.

The Causeway Coastal Route offers some amazing scenery and fantastic walking tours for those of you who enjoy getting outdoors no matter what the weather is like - and it's not always pretty along the North Coast. A short boat trip across the North Coast will take you to the picturesque Rathlin Island.
