Eughan Pavey said: "County Antrim Coast, Northern Ireland. No specific favourite location. Portrush is the nearest to a tourist hub, with the Giants Causeway and Dunlace Castle not far away. I tend to favour lesser known places like Cushendall,Glenariff & Glenarm. Small beaches, few people around." Photo: Eughan Pavey
