The rocks of the cliff bordering the promenade are particularly important to the geologist: an area known as Waterloo was designated an Area of Special Scientific Interest in 1995. This provides an outcrop of Triassic Mercia mudstone at the southern end and, further north, the foreshore rocks of the Cretacaceious age. It is the most accessible locality for this rock series anywhere on the island of Ireland . Walk, swim, look for fossils or just stare - the promenade is a special place.
At the end, or the beginning, of the Promenade is the leisure centre where you will find the Prom Cafe.....call in for a cuppa!!!!!
