Antrim Coast

If there had been any doubts what the rest of our Ireland road trip would be like, the afternoon driving up the Antrim Coast from Larne to Portrush pretty much laid them to rest. Narrow roads, sheep, and frequent stops so Hugh could take pictures of beaches.

The Coast Road is just that, sometimes following right along the beach or cliffs, and even when it's farther away, most bends offered views of the coast in the distance. There are many little towns, typically on small bays and valley mouths. Most have beaches. So there will be more pictures over on Gravel Beach - at least once I get around to posting them.

The main road cuts inland north of Cushendun, but we followed the less traveled path out to Torr Head, where Scotland's Mull of Kintyre could be seen less than 20 miles away.
