Visit White Rocks Strand

Fine sand, crystal-clear water and magnificent cliffs!

White Rocks Strand is one of Northern Ireland’s proudest beaches! The beach at Portrush is almost reminiscent of the cliffs at Etretat in Normandy!

We appreciate its distinctive colors, its untamed setting and its magnificent ocean views.

Note that not all the beach is passable: there are a lot of steep rocks, and some passages are not accessible to walkers. Nevertheless, the site is ideal for a picnic and a few photo opportunities!

A must-see: this is one of Portrush’s most beautiful sites!
