Five beaches in the Causeway Coast and Glens council area have been enhanced with a host of new improvements.

Ballycastle, Benone Strand, Castlerock, Runkerry and White Rocks benefitted from a range of new infrastructure.

Ballycastle beach had an extensive boardwalk installed leading from the seafront to a viewing platform on the beach. Improved boardwalk access can also be seen at both Castlerock and Runkerry, providing a link for visitors between the promenade and the beach.

Improvements were made to the surface of the cliff path at White Rocks whilst additional storage for inclusive beach equipment and the first phase of improved access between the beach and The Ark facilities has been provided at Benone Strand from Sport NI.

The work was made possible due to funding from DAERA's Rural Development Programme Co-operation Scheme, Sport NI and Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.

The local projects were developed by the Rural Development Programme's Local Action Group and staff from Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council's Tourism and Recreation Service.
