Portrush is the liveliest seaside resort on the north Antrim coast — a peninsula town with two sweeping bays, a famous golf links and the White Rocks, a dramatic stretch of chalk sea cliffs with natural arches and caves just east of the town. The Causeway Coast Way passes directly through, connecting Portrush to the Giant’s Causeway.

A lively, well-equipped resort with good accommodation and restaurants, Portrush is the most convenient base for the Causeway Coast Way — the Giant’s Causeway is just twelve miles east on the trail, and Dunluce Castle is a fifteen-minute walk.
