two of the best beaches on the antrim coast for accessibility and species. Fishing will start to get poor though. carnlough beach is a decent beach to fish with some decent flounder about. I don't really like cushendun myself and never really had a decent session on it.
I fished browns bay the other night and got a couple of fish.. dogs, coalies, whiting and codling.. all small but it used up the bait left over.

Would have to agree that Cushendun is a bit kak, ive only heard of one good catch from that Beach and that was a couple of years back.

you could give ballycastle beach a throw. Can throw up some good fltties. Try not to cast out too far. a simple 50yd lob should do the trick.

If this is too far for you to go- try Ballygally beach. I have heard of some good reports there lately. But as any good angler will tell you a beach can change overnight and drive you insane.

Just thought- yuo could give portmuck a try as well. I havent fished there for years now. Maybe someone else could advise on it. If my memory serves me right it is snag heaven though.
