Absolute breathtaking beach! It's a shame it's run by the local council! On the busiest weekend past, The toilets were locked after 5pm despite the beach being rammed with people! People down with children and babies needing to use the facilities in the evening! We had to ring a number to get a special key just to use the disabled toilets. I understand for safety reasons they need to be locked but 8-9pm would be a far better time because most people will likely have left by then!

We decided to stay in Portrush overnight and wish we would have stayed longer. Hopefully, we will make it back soon. Loved the beach and waterfront area. I grew up in a beach town, and I appreciate visiting others, especially outside the U.S.
