Can any one sujest quite and safe seaside camping spots where you could chill and do a bit of fishing ?
-
downhill is a nice spot. Don't know about fishing tho. Would imagine you could get some done. There are a few in Sligo and Donegal but I don't know if you want to travel that far
-
I'm not aware of any beaches where you can legitimately camp, not with actual permission anyway. If you found somewhere I'd love to know, I've always wanted to do a camping / fishing trip.

You could camp in the dunes behind the long strand at Culdaff. This is a popular fishing spot too.
Alternatively, you could walk well along the Portstewart dune system and behind the beach.
Kinnego Bay is also a potential spot, although I would suggest walking into the second bay which is more secluded.
If you prefer fishing off rocks then I know lots of little places around the Causeway headlands where you could pitch. In particular there is a gully east of Hamilton's seats which will take you down to a cove which I guarantee you will have to yourself.
There is no legitimate wild camping spots on the North Coast but I've never had any bother with the style of camping I do (on my own, pitch late, leave early, leave no trace).
