Location map of 'Portrush East Strand' Blue Flag certified beach

Portrush is a popular seaside destination for visitors and tourists. It is very busy during the summer months when the weather is hot and the safe and clean waters beckon keen surfers and families who want to get 'away from it all' for a day at the beach. Portrush has many amenities nearby that compliment to the glorious beaches, including restaurants, accommodation, and pubs offering local food and drink. Many organisations in the immediate area will organize fishing equipment, tours, boat hire and trips and horse riding. Also home to the area is Barry's amusement park which offers thrill rides and childrens entertainment- a must for the whole family! The East Beach is backed by glorious sand dunes and the nearby Royal Portrush Golf Course. Its golden sands are lined by dramatic cliffs that have been weatherworn over the centuries into a spectacle of caves waiting to be explored and superb views over the Skerries to the Scottish Islands.Directions: The main carpark at East Strand is adjacent to the southern edge of the beach and is accessed from Causeway Street in Portrush. The pedestrian promenade, which flanks the entire southern boundary of the beach, can be accessed on foot at the Arcadia area of the town centre. The Northern Ireland Railway Station is located within easy walking distance of the beach. Bus services are available from Coleraine and Portstewart.For details of all Blue Flag beaches in Northern Ireland please go to www.keepnorthernirelandbeautiful.org.
