Getting to Rathlin

Information about getting to the island and ferry travel can be found on our community website.

Getting to Kelp Shore House

Kelp Shore House is a 10–15 minute flat walk from the ferry terminal.

When you step off the ferry, turn right and follow the harbour road past the beach and the bar. Continue around the corner onto the shore road, passing the Gort Beag houses.

Keep walking alongside the field with the stone wall and past the stony beach. You will see the ruins of the Kelp House on the shoreline.

Kelp Shore House is the blue building just across and slightly up from it.
