Groomsport harbour and beach is very picturesque and has a real feeling of quiet tranquility. The beach, is used often by dog walkers like myself but I am happy to say is clean and tidy. On the warm summer days (if we ever get any) the beach attracts it's fair share of sunbathers. There is also a large grassed area which is ideal for summer picnics, overlooking the harbour and the small leisure boats that Bob about in the water. A children's play park is adjacent to the beach walkway and children can look out over Belfast lough as they play and slide and swing. Tennis courts sit behind the play park and are used regularly by the more active of society. There is also a small paddling pool where children can splash about in during the summer months. Again, if it's ever actually warm enough. lol. read more
