It was our baby's first proper beach experience and he loved it , plenty of parking and and ice cream van in the car park.

It's also one of the dwindling number of north coast beaches to retain its blue flag status so if you don't fancy paddling in a weak sewage solution then choose this beach for your summer days out. This is my favourite thing about Portstewart Strand - you can drive your car on and park for the day. So no having to lug your pic nic, towels, buckets and spades from the car to the beach. Just open the car door and let it all fall out. If anyone gets cold or tired, they can just jump in the car and snuggle down for a while. You have to pay for what is definitely a privilege - just £4.50 to drive on and park for the day and if you go off season when the facilities are closed, you don't have to pay at all. I for one have no problem paying the National Trust £4.50 to park in a truly spectacular car park. So, the facilities - what exactly is there? Probably the best facilities I have seen at a beach anywhere in Northern Ireland. Clean toilets, showers and first aiders, as well as a shop where you can but sweets and drinks and last minutes buckets and spades. Join the National Trust, and I have promised myself I will this summer, and you can drive onto the beach as many times as you want without having to pay.

Some run alongside the river, under cover of trees, others across open ground. A few picnic tables benches are provided by the car park itself, but it would benefit from a few more tables/benches and benches only (ie for sitting and relaxing), at other points in the park. The play area is good, albeit on the small side, but if the weather is fine, we usually take along our own equipment for wide games eg balls, bats, frisbees etc., as there are some good, open green areas suitable for getting the family involved in some fun, active games.
