Coast Lives

Weatherman Barra Best voyages around the Northern Irish coastline, along the way meeting some of those for whom the sea is a huge part of their lives. His journey begins at Lough Foyle, after which he makes his way as far as the picturesque harbour of Portbradden.

Self-confessed landlubber Barra Best continues his journey around the Northern Ireland coastline by boat. But along the way, the weatherman encounters some rough weather even he hadn't forecast. He gets an unusual view of one of our best-loved landmarks, before seeking sanctuary at the Copeland Islands.

In the final stage of Barra's journey around the Northern Ireland coastline, he finally finds his sea legs. He gets a bird's-eye view of Belfast Lough before making his way south towards Carlingford Lough and some hardy all-weather swimmers.
