Whitehead Promenade — Attraction in White Head

Whitehead is a great place for a walk. You can enjoy a gentle stroll by the sea or you can challenge yourself and climb the steps up to the lighthouse where the view over Belfast Lough is well worth the effort. This is a well known and popular walk and as a result can be busy so I would advise that you pick your time wisely especially if you are searching for solitude. It's very popular with dog walkers. I like it because I'm a bird watcher. The shore birds are used to people and this allows for some close up views which you may not get elsewhere. Great! Public toilets are located beside the children's play park not at the shore side carpark. There's a Maud's café near the train station so you won't go hungry or thirsty. Overall, well...

Love whitehead. Lovely town. Used to bring my children for walks along the shore front years ago. Moved to the town 1 year ago and I love it. So close to train,bus lovely local shops. The people are so friendly and welcoming. Lovely walks and the views are beautiful. Support the local businesses please. Great wee town....

A very pleasant Victorian feeling area, with some of the houses painted in pastel shades, similar to the kids show Balamory. There is ample car parking and a short walk brings you to a delightful steam preservation site. Trains are always chuffing back and forward adding to the old time feel...
