Hi folks sorry for hasstle found it on line and its not were i thought it was.
Is it easier to come in from ballymena or along coast road from larn. Also pics online show a few spots that to me anyway look like they fish so someone who has fished it before give me a spot to park and were to fish please

Hi Pooks,
Yes,you can get to Cushendun by Ballymena or by the coast road.Ballymena may be slightly quicker as a lot of it is motorway,but not much difference really.As for parking,when you go through the village the road swings sharply right then back left again like a small S bend,and when the road straightens up again there is a car park on the left.You can either park here or go on a couple of hundred yards where on your right you will see a couple of buildings down a lane.You can park beside these and the beach is about twenty yards in front of you.But don't worry we will be able to spot you on the beach no matter where you are.see ya there.

Hi Pooks,
Hopefully we can get there for about 7.00pm.Don't know if any particular part of the beach is better than any other.I'll probably head up past Ballymena,out the Cushendal road and through Martinstown and Cargan and down the hill, by-passing Cushendal.From Belfast should take about an hour.
