Sweeney's Public House, Portballintrae
Sweeney's is steeped in history and tradition, being one of the coaching stables for the Leslie Estate and not surprisingly, as one of the oldest surviving domestic structures in the village, is presently listed as being of architectural and historic significance. It was a meeting place for friends and business acquaintances.

Portballintrae harbour
The Large house overlooking the 'port' is Seaport Lodge Seaport Avenue. B+ Listed, the Lodge dates from 1760-1779 and was built for James Leslie as a marine residence and bathing lodge. Brett and Girvan states that the dwelling was constructed by James Leslie, soon after the completion of his other main residence, Leslie Hill, in 1772. The two-storey western service wing was added later, most likely in 1827. Seaport is presently white, though it is thought that it was originally grey in colour. The Leslie family had a large estate in the area and were prominent landowners in North Antrim. In the 1830s it was valued at £45 7s 5d and continued to be owned by the Leslie family until the mid-20th century.
