Newcastle Beach is the main sandy beach of Newcastle, County Down, a seaside resort town lying by the Irish Sea at the foot of Slieve Donard, the highest of the Mourne Mountains. The beach has a wide sandy strand backed by a modern promenade that received a multi-million pound upgrade. It is a popular destination for families, surfers, and bodyboarders. The town promotes itself as the activity resort of Northern Ireland, with the beach providing access to swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, and coastal walks. The beach is located within the Mourne Gullion Strangford UNESCO Global Geopark and is close to Donard Forest and Tollymore Forest Park.
