Portstewart Strand

Full Description

Portstewart Strand is a brilliant choice for a family adventure in the North Coast, with plenty to enjoy beyond a quick stop. It's the sort of place where you can take your time, explore together and enjoy a proper day out.

You'll find miles of golden sand, tall dunes and wonderful views along the shore. Rather than rushing from one thing to the next, give the wee ones time to look around, spot the little details and make their own discoveries along the way. There's something lovely about combining a bit of exploring with a snack stop and some fresh air.

You can keep things fairly short with younger children or make more of an outing if everyone has the energy. Pack what you need for the weather, choose the parts that suit your family and enjoy a simple adventure together.

What You'll Find

The long sandy strand is ideal for sandcastles, paddling, beach games and family walks. The dunes behind the beach are an important natural habitat and add to the scenery.
