Portrush

Portrush is a small beach tourist town on County Antrim's north coast in Northern Ireland. The main part of the old town, including the railway station and the majority of hotels, restaurants, and taverns, is located on Ramore Head, a one-mile-long peninsula. According to the 2011 Census, it had a population of 6,454 people.

Portrush, home to one of Ireland's best beaches, has a charming marina alongside the long sandy beach that draws visitors in the summer. From the bottom of the peninsula to the top, three major routes run parallel to each other. The bottom road is the seaside route Kerr Street, which has pedestrian zones, Barry's Amusements, Northern Ireland's largest amusement park, and Portrush Harbour. The Upper Road is Main Street, with arcades, restaurants, and stores, and Mark Street, in the middle, is largely residential and apartment buildings.

The Giant's Causeway is only a 20-minute drive away, passing through Dunluce Castle. The world-famous Dunluce Links Royal Portrush Championship Golf Course is situated prestigiously behind the East Strand beach, which is surrounded by historic sand dunes. This not only provides a stunning setting for an 18-hole, 7143-yard golf course but also keeps the region behind the shore in perfect condition and attractively green.
