As part of the Causeway Coastal Route - this stopping point beside Ballykelly and Limavady is called Ballymacran Bank - which runs to the mouth of the River Roe. It is a sea wall that protects the local area from the tidal Foyle (

The area - due to its landscape was the main airbases for North Atlantic aircraft patrols - both at Ballykelly (now closed) and Eglinton. The runway was large enough to take the bombers from the war effort.
This is all part of the Giant Causeway Coastal Route as it has been called - is an excellent drive to take along the coast of Ireland. The Northern Ireland Coast road starts in Belfast and goes all the way up towards Derry/Londonderry - it can be wise to take a few days to tour this road - as there are so many stop offs worth checking out.
The Antrim Coast is the first stop then into the Glens of Antrim. Then following this coastal drive in Ireland - you will reach the Causeway Coast and Glens. Picnics are needed :-)
Ballymacran Bank is a coastal walk along Lough Foyle with great views of the hills of Inishowen and Binevenagh. Among the different things that attract people to this place is observing the waders and wildfowl that tend to visit Lough Foyle and at the same time get thrilled with their evocative sounds - you will even find a board at the place which will state the names of those birds which manage to visit this place.
Walking by the Ballymacran Bank Myroe will provide you with great views over Lough Foyle to Inishowen. One of the top reasons to visit this place in Northern Ireland is to watch the wildlife and the different species that might be visiting the place - you will get astonished with the different types that are found out there.
While you are walking by the Ballymacran Bank, you can get the chance to see Binevenagh Mountain to the northeast and the famed hills of Donegal to the west.

What species could you see in Ballymacran Bank? There are several types out there and they include the Brent Geese, Shelduck,
Golden Plover, Curlew, Oystercatcher and others which you might still come across. It is interesting to see all those different types of birds in the same place and it is also interesting to hear their voices - which some of them sound scary at some point :-) - while you are walking by the beach.
The Ballymacran Bank is one of the stops that is located by the Causeway Coastal Route which is one of the famous places in Northern Ireland and where different locations are situated on it, such as the White Rocks Beach which is located in Portrush, county Antrim (

Since Lough Foyle is considered the interest point of Ballymacran Bank then there are some destinations which you could also visit which are considered part of it, such as the Magilligan Point which is on the Entrance of Lough Foyle and which also carries the same amount of popularity that Ballymacran Bank tends to carry (

There are other places found in Northern Ireland or even beaches which we will also recommend, such as the Crawfordsburn Beach in Bangor (

We loved the trip we had to the Ballymacran Bank beside Ballykelly and Limavady which is located by the Causeway Coastal Route and we definitely recommend people to go and visit it.
Once you start your journey along the North Coast in NI - it will be hard not to complete it. Some great coastal towns on route include Portrush and then Derry - before deciding if it is on to Donegal or back towards Belfast.
