Red Bay Harbour, located on the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland, offers the most sheltered anchorage on this stretch of coastline. The bay sits out of the tide and provides safe conditions in winds from between the southeast and northwest.

Access is non-tidal, meaning the harbour can be reached at any time, and the approach is straightforward with no significant off-lying hazards other than a fish farm to be aware of.

The Dalriada Slipway serves as a launch point for small craft making use of these protected waters. Red Bay is considered a practical stop for both passage makers and coastal cruisers seeking refuge along this exposed section of the Irish Sea coast.
