Portstewart

Overview

Summer spent along Portstewart's promenade is as close to coastal perfection in Northern Ireland as you can get. Here, sandy shorelines stretch into the distance, while a host of top-notch pubs, cafes and restaurants offer delightful cuisine and sea views.

Don't be surprised if you see a lot of flat caps and polo shirts — the links at Portstewart Golf Club are some of the best in the country.
