I have so many childhood memories of this beach. I remember biking up to it on my own, not that I ever really swam in the ocean, because it is simply FREEZING and Northern Ireland doesn't get a lot of swimming/beach weather, unfortunately! But I loved to come up here and just sit and think.
Lilah was ecstatic to get to the beach and start collecting stones and shells as soon as she stepped onto the sand. Well, that was before she saw the white rocks that had many little caves and clefts for her to hide in and make into little homes, in her imagination. Baba wrote her name in the sand and that pleased her to no end. It was a wonderful start of our trip around the coast. All in one day, we visited Whiterocks Beach, Dunluce Castle, The Giant's Causeway and The Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge. It sure made for a busy day and I have far too many pictures to throw into one post, so I will be separating them out over the next few days!
Honestly, your pics are totally... totally amazing!!!!!

Oops, my mistake! I used my Canon 50mm F1.4 once, to shoot the second picture in the post, the one looking down on the beach/ocean from above.
