I visited Shankill Beach for the first time and honestly, it was really disappointing. The amount of litter was shocking there was rubbish everywhere, which made the whole place feel dirty and unpleasant. It’s such a shame because this could be a lovely spot, but it doesn’t seem to be well looked after at all. The beach itself was also very dirty, clearly from people leaving their waste behind. With proper care and more respect from visitors, this place could be so much nicer. Right now, it just doesn’t feel enjoyable or welcoming.
