The Lecale Coast AONB is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)on the Lecale peninsula in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is located between Strangford Lough and the Mourne Mountains and has a low, sometimes sandy, rocky or grassy shoreline. Its southern tip lies along an extensive sand dune system at Dundrum Bay. Stretching from Dundrum Bay to Strangford village, the coastline is a place of delightful coves, dramatic headlands and secluded sandy beaches. It was designated an AONB in 1967 and covers an area of 31.08 km².[1]
