OK if youre stuck. August 2025
Written by Stingray62 | 20th Aug 2025
£45 a night for a 12m vessel very basic and seemingly umnanned marina now the HM has retired. Puts in the price range of the most expensive Scottish Marinas.
Toilets and showers are functional but looking very tired looking.
The cafe at the castle seems to be under new management and prices roughly doubled.
Not much else to see in the village unfortunately but the Coast Road Inn is great, lively with friendly locals and although they dont have food you can get a delivery from the Chinese or chippy in Carnlough direct to the pub or marina.
Take a walk through the Forest along the river its beautiful.
You must now telphone the marina at Carrickfergus for berth and keycodes but they quite often tell you its full when it isnt so its probably easier to be forgiven than to seek permission.

Facilities
Written by Contender | 3rd Jul 2023
Here In July2023. The one shop is well stocked with all manner of supplies. Not a supermarket, but great supplies for most yachts. While the town looks empty of commerce, go to the castle where there's tea rooms, takeaways, pizza house, shops galore, museums, walled gardens, walks. Enough to occupy any crew waiting for Clement weather, and feed you too.they we're setting up for a music festival later this month while we were there, looks like that will be huge.

Update Early Summer 2021
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 25th Jun 2021
I reviewed these notes in June 2021. Much is the same here though the price has gone up a wee bit. They have added a new 120 metres of pontoon to the old layout and our harbour plan in the text gives a rough outline of the new layout.

Update Spring 2019
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 10th May 2019
These notes were reviewed in May 2019. There's not much change here - the marina remains the main attraction whilst, outside, the village is boarded up. The HM is still very obliging and you will find him very helpful.
UPDATE Autumn 2018
Written by Don Thomson | 30th Oct 2018
We have had a report that there is a new development plan afoot here and that one of the casualties may be the free launderette. Mind you that report was from a competing marina!
EATING AT COAST ROAD INN
Written by cuillin | 28th Jun 2018
I can confirm that the Chinese Takeaway (Carnlough) does deliver to the Coast Road Inn in Glenarm,, and that the Inn provides crockery and cutlery. We had a very enjoyable meal at the Inn last evening.
