## Visit White Rocks Beach

Activities

* * *

#### Next to wide, grass-covered limestone cliffs, this magnificent sandy beach is particularly popular with families, photographers and watersports lovers.

It is beloved for its waves and gorgeous scenery, but Whiterocks Beach is much more than a surfing destination. Take an invigorating walk on the sand or along the coast, enjoying the picturesque setting of chalk cliffs and wide ocean views. On a visit to Whiterocks Beach you’ll appreciate the deep sense of history within this remarkable landscape, created from fossil-rich rock laid down between 70 and 140 million years ago.

Gaze westward over gentle Curran Point, with the rooftops of Portrush in the background. On a clear day, facing north, look all the way to the islands of Scotland.

Stroll to the eastern end of Whiterocks, marveling at the curious formations of Ulster white limestone that give this beach its name. Centuries of weathering have turned the area’s soft rock into a dramatic cliff-filled landscape, complete with eye-catching arches and iconic headlands having names such as Elephant Rock and Shelagh’s Head.

Explore waterfalls and rock pools,taking appropriate care with weather and tides. From here the rocky coastline continues toward Dunluce Castle, with stunning overlooks at Magheracross. Below the road are caves frequented by seabirds and hawks, though these openings are accessible only by sea.

Watch for equine company, as racehorse trainers sometimes exercise their steeds along the sand.

This is a particularly scenic location to surf the strong Atlantic swell. Bring your own board or rent one from the seasonal on-site outlet. A wetsuit is recommended for the cold water.

If you’re not interested in surfing, consider bodyboarding or kayaking or simply swim in water that regularly wins Blue Flag awards for cleanness. Lifeguards patrol daily in July and August and on weekends in other warmer months.

Find Whiterocks Beach just east of the resort town of Portrush. The beach is located on the Causeway Coastal Route tourist trails. Take advantage of the free parking or enjoy the scenery during a 40-minute journey on foot. Travel by car for 1 hour from Derry or Belfast Airport to get here.
