Portrush is a lively seaside town with plenty of shops and superb restaurants. The locals (and people in the “know”) eat at Rathmore Wine Bar, The Harbour Inn, or Coast. But good eating is not restricted to these 3 places alone, there are lots of others to choose from.
Portstewart is only a 5 minute drive away. There you will find a more relaxed town with the most wonderful sandy beach and fabulous coastal walks. There are playgrounds for the children, and many interesting shops along The Promenade for the adults.
Other Magnificent Attractions:
There are of course other world famous attractions in the area. What about The Giants Causeway just 15 minutes away by car? Or Bushmills Distillery even closer? Carrick-A Rede Rope Bridge is just beyond the Giants Causeway. You can pop into Dunluce Castle on the way there. There are wonderful views along the North Atlantic coast, described by some as the 8th wonder of the world!
