Helen's Bay Beach is one of two excellent beaches found in Crawfordsburn Country Park. These beautiful sandy beaches are by far the best within the Belfast area and as such are exceptionally popular and well used.
Helen's Bay Beach is gently shelving and has excellent water quality making it ideal for bathing. The country park provides an excellent back drop to the beach, with wooded headlands, meadows, quality walks and good facilities.
Crawfordsburn Country Park is sign posted of the A2 between Bangor and Belfast, at Ballyroberts.
Helen's Bay Beach is on the Belfast/Bangor train line. Get off at Helen's Bay, walk down Church Road onto Helen's Bay Beach.
