Nice beach - just park on it…read more This is a lovely, long and wide stretch of sand. No need to look for a parking lot, since you can park ON the beach. Some people here are fishing, some are surfing and some (like us) just enjoy the scenery. Be aware that the western side (from the car entrance) is not pet-friendly, while the eastern side is. Also from here you can get a good look at the Mussenden Temple (featured in GoT also). This beach here was a filming location for GoT - Dragonstone, where the Seven Idols of Westeros were burned. We did arrive here quite late and wished we would have had more time to enjoy this very laid-back beach. There were surprisingly few visitors that day. Not sure it's always like that though.

It sounds a bit odd but this is actually a National trust property.

It's also one of the dwindling number of north coast beaches to retain its blue flag status so if you don't fancy paddling in a weak sewage solution then choose this beach for your summer days out. This is my favourite thing about Portstewart Strand - you can drive your car on and park for the day. So no having to lug your pic nic, towels, buckets and spades from the car to the beach. Just open the car door and let it all fall out. If anyone gets cold or tired, they can just jump in the car and snuggle down for a while. You have to pay for what is definitely a privilege - just £4.50 to drive on and park for the day and if you go off season when the facilities are closed, you don't have to pay at all. I for one have no problem paying the National Trust £4.50 to park in a truly spectacular car park. So, the facilities - what exactly is there? Probably the best facilities I have seen at a beach anywhere in Northern Ireland. Clean toilets, showers and first aiders, as well as a shop where you can but sweets and drinks and last minutes buckets and spades. Join the National Trust, and I have promised myself I will this summer, and you can drive onto the beach as many times as you want without having to pay.

As with all riding schools some horses do have vices but most are good and you can often request to have the same horse/pony. However because the instructors were 'born on a horse' they don't appear to understand that some people find it quite frightening to be on a horse that is careering uncontrolled across an arena and that telling them to sit up straight and pull on the reins, when they are hanging off the side of the horse, just isn't going to help. Nonetheless you can learn to ride successfully to competition standard.

You even get some tokens for playing a few of the games afterwards in the games area but be warned, there are not many machines that take the tokens (we usually use the air hockey and the TT Race machine) and nothing in the kidddie games area. You can sit and watch as you eat in the cafe area or take your food/drink to your bowling table. They are not strict about changing into bowling shoes and don't usually offer a pair, so wear soemthing sensible on your feet.

The course is so beautiful, so scenic, she never got bored. The other great thing is you can play the Championship-level course. They offered the opportunity to play the course 4 days after the tourney, and with championship tees for £190. Awesome. I wished we had stayed longer, as you can get a whole week in the summer for £150. Fall and spring is £90 and winter is £60. Since it only gets into the mid 40s in the winter, I'll be back. Also, the Club did a great job with the Irish Open. The links course was immaculate and held up in the wind and the constant drizzle of rain.

The three courses are: the Strand Course (par 72), a championship course, the Riverside Course (par 68) and the Old Course (par 64), which is where the club was founded in 1894.[1] The late 1980s saw major development of the Strand course with the layout updated and seven new holes added. In 1992 the new Strand course, designed by Des Giffin, opened for play.[2] The club opened a new clubhouse facility in May 2009. The Golf Club holds what is often suggested as the finest opening hole in Ireland.
