About Ballycastle
Ballycastle is the gateway to Rathlin Island — the ferry runs regularly and it's the primary launch point for the Marine Conservation Zone around Rathlin's dramatic walls and wrecks. The harbour itself has accessible shore and boat diving at 10–25m, including the City of Bristol wreck and several Causeway Coast reef sites with good biodiversity and North Channel visibility. Ballycastle combines the convenience of a serviced harbour town with direct access to some of Northern Ireland's finest offshore diving.
