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.

This is a nice gentle stroll and the path is level and even. I would not want to do it on a windy day as there aren’t any barriers and you do walk near the edge. With wild flowers, rugged rocks and the sea it’s a lovely place to ponder and daydream

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!
