Portrush is a popular seaside resort town on Northern Ireland's Causeway Coast, home to three stunning Blue Flag beaches: East Strand, West Strand and Whiterocks. These golden sandy beaches are ideal for families, offering safe swimming, surfing lessons, rock pooling, and coastal walks with dramatic limestone cliff scenery. East Strand and Whiterocks form a continuous 2.5km stretch of sand popular with surfers, while West Strand sits at the heart of the town with easy access to shops, cafes and amusements. All three beaches have seasonal lifeguards, parking, toilets and disabled access.
