Helen's Bay is a small coastal ward in Ards and North Down, in Northern Ireland, sitting on the sheltered shore of Belfast Lough between Bangor and Crawfordsburn Country Park. The area is known for its sandy bay and promenade, attractive coastal walks and nearby woodland, which together make it popular with families and walkers.
Primarily residential and regarded as relatively affluent, the ward features a mix of period houses and newer homes and is well connected to Belfast by rail, so many people commute for work. Local life centres on small shops, cafés and outdoor pursuits; the proximity to coastal and parkland attractions also brings modest tourism and a strong interest in conservation and local heritage.
