Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Perfect beach for young children: good clean sand and long stretches with clear views. The water is cold when you first go in but soon warm up running in and out! Perfect to build up an appetite. Fussy eaters were looking for extras.

Great place to run, walk up the dunes, spend tie with the family, and the list goes on. One of the best beachers in Britain, surely. The views of the coast both to East and West are amazing.

This is a must-visit for anyone heading to the North/Northwest coast. Always walk this either on my own, with my husband, or the kids. Sand dunes are great, waves can be awesome and great for a paddle whatever the weather (just bring wet shoes in the winter)

One of the nicest, cleanest beaches you are likely to have the pleasure to enjoy. Great walk to the White rocks and back. The sand dunes are stunning and when the sun shines, it is hard to find a better place anywhere...

A 2min walk from the town center, this is a very beautiful and clean stretch of beach to walk around. As always, the weather in Ireland plays a big part in strolling around the town and beach. Best enjoyed on a nice and sunny day!!

Plenty of facilities or a few hours on a sunny day. Cheap car park and enough facilities. Great for surfing.

Clean and beautiful! What more would you want from a beach. One, if not the most beautiful beaches I’ve been to. Beautiful at all times of the year.

Returning for holidays would not be complete without walks on the East Strand from Portrush to the White Rocks. Everyone walking their dogs and enjoying the good weather leading up to the Open. This year I actually got severely sunburnt!!

Surfing while the British OPEN was being played awesome experience. The beach was really clean and was a great place to spend time.
