Ballintoy Harbour

Ballintoy Harbour perches on Northern Ireland's rugged Causeway Coast, a tiny fishing port turned tourist magnet thanks to its starring role as the Iron Islands in Game of Thrones. Reached via the scenic A2 coastal route, it's about 11km from Ballycastle and makes an ideal stop on the popular Giant's Causeway circular drive. The weathered stone quay and surrounding limestone cliffs create a perfectly sheltered inlet that's been serving local fishermen for centuries.
