About Portstewart
- Portstewart Strand, the two-mile beach that stretches westward from the town and is managed by the National Trust, is one of the finest beaches on the Causeway Coast — a beach of golden sand backed by sand dunes that is one of the most popular outdoor recreation destinations in County Londonderry. The strand, which is accessible by car along the beach itself, is one of the few beaches in Northern Ireland where vehicles are permitted on the sand, and the combination of the beach, the dunes, and the views across the North Channel makes it one of the most spectacular coastal landscapes in the north of Ireland.
- Portstewart Golf Club, which was founded in 1894 and is set on the clifftops above the North Channel, is one of the finest links courses in Ireland — a course that has hosted the Irish Open on several occasions and that is consistently ranked among the top courses in the country. The club's Strand Course, which was redesigned in the 1990s to incorporate the sand dunes of the Portstewart Strand, is one of the most dramatic and challenging links courses in Ireland, and it is one of the most important golfing destinations on the Causeway Coast.
- Portstewart's character as a quiet, genteel resort — in contrast to the more boisterous atmosphere of nearby Portrush — reflects its history as a town that was developed in the 19th century by the Cromie family, who owned the land and who sought to attract a respectable, middle-class clientele. The town's promenade, its Victorian villas, and its Dominican College — a boarding school that has educated generations of students from across Ireland — give Portstewart a character that is distinct from other Causeway Coast towns, and its combination of natural beauty, golf, and relative tranquillity makes it one of the most attractive seaside destinations in Northern Ireland.
