Portrush

Built on a peninsula, Portrush commands views to Donegal, Dunluce Castle and the Giants Causeway headland, along with two exceptional beaches and excellent coastal walks it offers all the facilities you would need for a family vacation or a base to explore the surrounding area. Within the town you will find a selection of indoor venues which include Waterworld, The Dunluce Centre, the 'Portrush Countryside Centre', Barry's Amusements' and a choice of restaurants, cafe's and bars.

A 3km stroll along Curran Strand (East Strand) will bring you to the spectacular White Rocks where you can continue by footpath to Dunluce Castle. An ancient sand dune system separates the beach from the Royal Portrush Golf Course, midway along the beach lies a deep hollow between the dunes and the golf course - it is here that Magnus Barefoot, the King of Norway is believed to have been killed in 1103 during a battle with Irish forces. The stretch of water between Curran Strand and the Skerries, a ring of small uninhabited islands, is known as the Skerry Roads and for centuries has offered sheltered anchorage. The town is recorded as being granted to Richard de Burgo in 1305.
