Ballyhalbert Location

54.5000, -5.4500

54.50000, -5.45000 View on OpenStreetMap →

Ballyhalbert sits at 54.5000°N, 5.4500°W, on the coast of Ards and North Down, United Kingdom. The marker on the map shows the spot the readings on this page come from. It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.

Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
