The Skerries are a small group of rocky islands off Portrush on the north coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, about 50 miles from Belfast. The larger island is known locally as Winkle Isle and the smaller as Castle Isle. The group is recognized as an Area of Special Scientific Interest, and tourist boats from Portrush pass the islands on trips toward the Giant's Causeway.
