Whiterocks Beach is a stunning destination located along the Causeway Coast. White Rocks is a two mile stretch of sandy beach starting (or ending) in Portrush at the East Strand beach. The beach is accessed by a boardwalk and the white limestone make for a stunning backdrop! Located a short distance from the Giant’s Causeway, it’s a postcard perfect beach and one of my favourite spots for sunrise.

With stunning views stretching out for miles on end, it is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the beautiful natural landscape of the coast. Unparalleled rock formations like Shelagh's Head and the Wishing Arch add to an already remarkable view. The dunes are very high, offering good sledding opportunities. You’re going to love this beach!
