Cushendall Beach is a small, sandy beach approximately 250 meters long, situated in a bay to the north of the town of Cushendall. The beach is part of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing a stunning backdrop of mountainous coastline.

The beach is backed by a grassy area, ideal for picnics, and offers superb views of the surrounding landscape. Behind the grassy area lies Cushendall Golf Club, adding to the beach's recreational appeal.
