Ballintoy is wonderfully picturesque, with its sea stacks, islands and pretty harbour. It has been used as a filming location for HBO's Game of Thrones, featuring as the island of Pyke, home of the Greyjoy family. The coastal walking here is excellent, with Carrick-a-Rede to the east and Whitepark Bay Beach and the Giant's Causeway to the west. There are a number of small shops, restaurants and places to stay in the village.
