I nice long stretch of beach with huge sand dunes running along the edge. It's probably about 1.5 miles end to end and good for those looking for a walk or run. There is a pay and display car park at one end with 2hrs being 60p, and a toilet block.

Amazing sandy stretch of beach popular with locals and especially with visitors, not forgetting all those keen on water sports, particularly surfers. Easily up there amongst the best in the world. We found Bondi didn't have a patch on this one - there is no comparison in our opinion.

We probably came on the wrong day as it was difficult to get parked at the very bottom car park next to the beach as it was so busy . There are other car parks as you head down the road which like most roads leading down to the sea in Antrim are all very steep and winding . The one we parked in actually had great views of royal portrush golf course where we watched a poor golfer search for their lost ball . Well worth a visit just be prepared for the drive up and down which to be fair is not as bad as the one at Ballintoy harbour .

Worth persevering to find this one which is away from the busy main Portrush beach (West) with amusements/shops etc. Easy to park here and away from the traffic noise. Toilet blocks, car parks, surfing and life guards. Lovey quality sand, food vans etc. Safe for families on a sunny day. There are rockpools areas too for curious little ones.
Go early to avoid the busy town traffic even in Covid times!

Visited on Saturday afternoon around 3/4pm. Still lots of space for people to sit and everyone naturally distanced themselves! Super clean and lifeguards were attentive and easy to get in touch with. Can't wait to go back again.

Brilliant fishing trip this morning onboard the Causeway Lass skippered by Kelly. A load of mackerel caught I took maybe 40.
Kelly took as to 4 spots but the final one just beyond The Skerries was exceptional.
Highly recommend.

Happened across this beautiful beach after seeing some pics on Instagram. I was shocking how stunning this beach is how clean it is and how exotic the beach looks, could easily be abroad just beautiful with people out surfing etc. The car parking is perfect and public toilets available with plenty bins. Just beautiful

We go here quite often, only 15 minuets from home. A beautiful white sand beach that stretches about 3km. You can enter from Portrush East strand car park or from The Whiterocks car park

To my knowledge, the answer is no. There were a number of people visiting the beach with their dogs, enjoying the surf (in wet-suits) and there was a wedding party taking photos. I believe the tide range is a factor. There are camping grounds along the Giants Causeway Coast road. That information is probably available from the Irish Tourist Board.
