Destination Coleraine Whiterocks Beach

Walk along the golden sands

Whiterocks Beach stretches along the coastline between Portrush and Dunluce Castle, offering plenty of space to walk, relax and enjoy the fresh sea air.

The long sandy beach is particularly popular during the warmer months, while the surrounding dunes and grassland add to the distinctive character of the coastline.

Discover the rock formations

The beach gets its name from the striking white limestone cliffs and rock formations that line the shore. Over time, the sea has shaped the limestone into caves, arches and unusual formations. With its dramatic rock formations and open Atlantic views, Whiterocks offers a chance to experience the natural landscape of the North Coast.

Enjoy the coastal views

Whiterocks offers views across the Atlantic Ocean, with the coastline stretching towards Dunluce Castle and beyond. The beach provides opportunities for photography, watching the waves and enjoying a peaceful walk along the shore.

Enjoy the outdoors

Whether you're heading to the beach with friends, taking a walk after a busy day or looking for somewhere to enjoy the scenery, Whiterocks Beach offers plenty of ways to spend time outdoors. Its combination of sandy beach, dramatic cliffs and Atlantic views makes it one of the North Coast's most memorable coastal destinations.
