Dunluce Park

If you’re heading to East Strand for the day, Dunluce Park is the obvious stop — it’s right there, no faff, with parking that actually makes sense for families hauling beach gear. The accessibility here is genuinely good, not just a token ramp bolted on as an afterthought, so it works well for pushchairs and wheelchair users alike. Portrush can get chaotic in summer, but having the car park so close to the play area takes a lot of the stress out of it. Honestly, it’s one of those spots that earns its place on a beach day without even trying that hard.
