carnlough beach is throwing up a few decent fish, but around the antrim coast at most marks there are plenty of fish at dark but not massive in size. benone has been fishing ok during daylight recently as well.basically most marks rag, lug , mackerel will do.

All you ever wanted to know. Coutesy of the good folks at Google.

From the first site google returned:

Situated on the A2 approximately 12 miles from Limavady, lies a magnificent stretch of strand known as Benone Beach. The jewel in the crown of Limavady's scenery, seven miles of golden strand stretch from Magilligan Point to Downhill and is backed by dramatic sand dunes, containing rich variety of plant life, and majestic Benevenagh Mountain. Benone Strand's excellent standards of water quality, beach management, cleanliness and safety has resulted in its becoming multiple recipient of the European Blue Flag and Seaside Resort award. In fact, Benone Strand was the first beach in Northern Ireland to win the prestigious award.
