Things to do with children

Go to the Beach: safest beaches with children are east-facing or sheltered and include Ballymastocker, any of the beaches at Ards, and Marble Hill. The hair-raising hairpin bends approaching Ballymastocker Beach from Rathmullan to the south are equal to any fairground ride. The Finn Railway -- old narrow guage railway, runs alongside Loch Finn from June to September. All details on this weblink.

Dunlewey Lakeside Centre: playgrounnd, boatrides on the lake, restaurant and craft shop and the Weaver's Cottage.
