The movement of sand on a beach is a natural process and crucial in building and maintaining sand dunes however it can also be disruptive for vehicle users. “As a result, we advise against accessing the beach via car or other vehicles at this time, while our hard-working rangers address the issue. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, appreciate your patience, and look forward to welcoming you when it is safe to do so.”Article continues belowFor all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here and sign up to our daily newsletter here.
