Q What’s the most underrated seaside resort in the UK?

Megan

A The short answer is: almost anywhere in Northern Ireland. Far too few people from the other UK nations are aware of the fun, food and spectacular shoreline scenery along the country’s coast. I particularly like Portstewart and Ballycastle on the north coast, and Newcastle in the southeast has the bonus of easy access to Ulster’s highest mountains.
