The Atlantic ward sits on the rugged north coast within the Causeway Coast and Glens district of Northern Ireland, with rocky headlands, sandy beaches and coastal roads looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape mixes small towns, villages and agricultural hinterland and is popular with walkers, surfers and other coastal visitors.
Locally the economy is driven by tourism, hospitality, small-scale fishing and farming, and communities often centre on parish halls, GAA clubs and maritime traditions. The area’s long maritime and rural history shapes lively local debates about conservation, development and maintaining community life amid seasonal visitor peaks.
