Whitepark Bay is the beach of my childhood, there was a path across the road from our family home that only close neighbours knew about; a shortcut to the dunes, the sand and the sea. I have always been overly curious about what’s going on around me, fascinated with every detail of place; the geology that formed it, the people who have lived here, the habitat and wildlife within it, the flowers, the history and so on. But also am particular; I prefer to look at Rathlin from Whitepark Bay rather than 6 miles down the road in Ballycastle because from here you can see the dramatic West cliffs and I have a romanticism and nostalgia embedded in these places I love most so I like to visit them as often as I can.
Oh Ciara, I love this! I’ve only recently discovered Whitepark bay and have fallen head over heels in love - you’re so lucky to have grown up there. I’m counting the days until we get to go back in the summer! Enjoy x
