This charming Irish seaside town offers the perfect blend of stunning coastal beauty, medieval history and fun and adventure, making it the idyllic spot for families. Portrush is a charming seaside resort town located on the north coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Nestled on a mile-long peninsula and flanked by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and a rugged coastline to the south, Portrush's famous golden sandy beaches, such as East Strand, West Strand and Whiterocks- which all Blue Flag Award winning - are ideal for sun-seekers, swimmers, surfers and families alike.
The crashing waves and fresh sea breeze make it an ideal spot for relaxation and water sports on a sunny summers day. Dominating the landscape is the iconic Dunluce Castle. Perched dramatically on a cliff, you may recognise these iconic 13th century medieval ruins from Game of Thrones, where they were featured (with a bit of CGI editing) as House of Greyjoy.
Once home to the MacDonnell clan, its history is steeped in legends of battles, shipwrecks, and ghostly apparitions, Dunluce is a fantastic place to learn a bit of Irish history and and to take in the beautiful, breath-taking views of the coastline. Ramore Head is the place to go if you are in search of a stunning coastal walk. A large rocky headland, its rugged cliffs and sea view offer the perfect place to unwind with a view of nature.
Nearby, the bustling Portrush Harbour is a hub for fishing boats, pleasure cruises, and seafood restaurants. A prime .
