Playground, East Strand, Portrush

Right on the East Strand, this one’s a solid pick for families with little ones during the summer months. The water feature is the main draw — younger kids absolutely love it, and it keeps them entertained while you soak up the sea air. The walking path runs alongside, so you can stretch your legs without going far. Honestly, with the beach right there, you could easily make a full day of it.
