From the Wikipedia article
White Park Bay (also spelled Whitepark Bay) is a bay and three-mile long beach located near Ballycastle, County Antrim, on the north coast of Northern Ireland, along the Giant’s Causeway Coastal Route. Sheep and cattle graze the hills and beach along the bay, which has been under the care of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty since 1938. It is situated in the townland of White Park (likely from the Irish An Pháirc), which is 170 acres in area and located in the civil parish of Ballintoy. White Park Bay is home to the Whitepark Bay Youth Hostel. The beach is unsuitable for swimming due to rip currents. A cairn above the beach is designated as a Scheduled Historic Monument at grid ref: D0225 4403.
