Portrush Whiterocks Beach is the perfect place for a family day out. As a winner of the prestigous Blue Flag Award, Portrush Whiterocks Beach has become a favourite with locals and a must see destination for International visitors!
The limestone cliffs of the White Rocks stretch from Curran Strand to Dunluce Castle. You can take a boat trip towards these soft, sedimentary rocks, which have been carved through centuries into a labyrinth of caves and arches. Shelagh's Head, the Wishing Arch, Elephant Rock and the Lion's Paw are headlands of distinguishable forms which rise out of the ocean.
On the main coast road, you will find pull in areas and a large car park where you can take in the incredible views of the headlands to the Giant's Causeway and back to Portrush and Donegal. Along the beach, there are grassy knolls with sea views and ideal for picnics. As well as this, the beach attracts water sports enthusiasts, as regular surfers and body boarders can be seen in the surf, and there are many shops and services nearby that can organize the hire of such equipment.
They also offer horse riding here, so if you're feeling extra adventurous, check that out!
Take the 2nd exit onto Eglinton St, a slight left onto Kerr St, left onto N pier, and then follow the signs.
