Cloghan Point is a rocky headland jutting into Belfast Lough near Carrickfergus, offering a short but scenic coastal walk. The path hugs the shoreline, passing grassy clifftops and offering uninterrupted views across the water to the Antrim coast and Scotland on clear days. It's a favorite spot for photographers, birdwatchers, and anyone seeking a breath of fresh sea air. The point's exposed position makes it feel wild and invigorating, yet it's easily accessible.
Don't miss
- Walk the coastal path for panoramic views of Belfast Lough and beyond
- Watch for seabirds and occasional seals from the clifftop viewpoints
- Photograph the rugged limestone cliffs and crashing waves at high tide
