Waterfoot Beach is situated in a wide bay and features a long strip of sand. The beach is flanked by two piers, one of which is old and ruined, located on the south side, and another that is more intact, situated to the north.
The quiet fishing village of Carnlough is located near the beach and is set at the foot of the Antrim Glens. The village boasts a picturesque harbour and a pleasant sandy beach that stretches around the bay. However, the beach tends to disappear under the high tide towards the village end, whereas there is still some sandy beach further down.
The beach and surrounding area offer a serene and natural environment, with the beach providing a long stretch of sand in a beautiful wide bay. The village of Carnlough adds to the charm of the area, with its pretty harbour and sandy beach.
