The waterfall is just fantastic and on a rainy day, the volume of water cascading seems to treble. Just beyond the waterfall are the Maghera caves situated on Maghera Strand which is beautiful, huge, deserted and made from fine white sand. This waterfall is not to far off the R263 near Maghera as your headed towards the beach. The amount of water thundering down the mountainside after rainfall is amazing. After seeing this waterfall you can continue up the road so you can see the caves in the cliffs at the beach.
