Perfect beach for young children: good clean sand and long stretches with clear views. The water is cold when you first go in but soon warm up running in and out! Perfect to build up an appetite. Fussy eaters were looking for extras.

I went here on a chilly but sunny weekday afternoon in late October. People were running on the beach or walking dogs, I loved it !

When a cold wind is blowing, as it usually does, this is a great beach for a walk. At the weekend, no matter what the weather, there will be many walkers and surfers taking advantage of the unique and bracing conditions here. Walk westwards for over a mile towards Portrush, past the Royal Portrush Golf Course, have a refreshing cup of tea and then return along the strand and you will have done more than your daily 10k steps!

This is a lovely beach, clean, with a long stretch of sand with some impressive dunes for the smallies to explore. Well worth a visit, if going Id recommend heading early as the car parks get full pretty quickly from what we could see.
