Great news that Ballycastle has again been selected as the best place to live in NI.
Come on up and see what makes Ballycastle great!!

Ballycastle has officially been named the best place to live in Northern Ireland, taking the regional title in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live Guide for 2026.

Crowned this year’s winner, the Co Antrim town fought off strong competition from Dundrum and Ormeau in south Belfast to take home the title. Known for its stunning coastal views, lively pub scene and the centuries-old Ould Lammas Fair, Ballycastle continues to stand out as one of the most distinctive places to live along the north coast.

Set against one of the most striking backdrops on the Causeway Coast, the town brings together natural beauty and a strong sense of community. From gatherings at the local library to the work of Solas, which provides accessible mental health support, Ballycastle offers more than just a location. It is a place that feels connected.

According to The Sunday Times Best Places to Live guide, Ballycastle is the “beating heart” of the north coast. With its expansive sandy beaches and the much-loved Morton Fish and Chip shop, the town continues to draw crowds looking to cool off and enjoy the seaside during the summer months.

The high street continues to thrive with independent businesses, while the town’s pubs create an atmosphere that keeps both locals and visitors coming back. Just a short walk away, the wide sandy beach attracts dog walkers, swimmers and those simply taking in the fresh coastal air.

Food is a big part of Ballycastle’s appeal. At the centre of it is Ursa Minor, a standout café widely regarded as one of the best bakeries on these islands. Alongside it, a strong network of local producers, including greengrocers, butchers, Broughgammon Farm Shop, North Coast Smokehouse and the Naturally North Coast and Glens Sunday Market, continues to showcase the very best of local produce.

This is not the first time Ballycastle has received the accolade, having also been named the best place to live in Northern Ireland in 2022.

It is this blend of landscape, people and independent spirit that makes Ballycastle not just a great place to visit, but one of the best places to call home.

Ballycastle is also a great base for exploring the Giant’s Causeway, Ballintoy Harbour and Carrick-a-rede rope bridge. There are also several Game of Thrones filming locations nearby.
