I took part in the North Coast Run for Cancer a few weeks ago. The stretch of road was voted in the top three coastal routes in the world by BBC viewers, by chance there was a program about it tonight on BBCNI, my wife lives right in the middle of it and it is stunning. The Surf on the North Coast is some of the best in the UK as well.
i think it can be seen on BBC iplayer

im not sure if the program will go on iplayer but worth keeping an eye on.
Aaron if your coming over, give me a shout, i can put you up in our beach house which is empty most of the year.
