Rathlin Island is just six miles from Ballycastle across the Sea of Moyle on the Causeway Coast and Glens scenic route.
It is six miles long and 1 mile wide with County Antrim to the South, the Inishowen Peninsula to the West, Islay to the North, and the Mull of Kintyre to the East.
Rathlin island once had a population of over 1000 but now has a current population of approximately 150.
Most will visit the island by ferry boat for a day trip but some visitors may stay a night or two.
There have even been several visitors that have fallen in love with island life and have never left.

On the island, there is a high chance of seeing some of it's well known wildlife such as puffin birds and sealions!
