Portstewart

united kingdom

Portstewart perches along the Causeway Coast, famous for its two-mile strand backed by some of Europe's largest sand dunes that the National Trust carefully maintains. The town sits 97 kilometers from Belfast via the A2 Causeway Coastal Route, with Portrush just 6 kilometers away and Londonderry 59 kilometers west. Most visitors follow the M2 and A26 from Belfast, while Dublin travelers cover 264 kilometers on the M1 and A26. The elevated position provides grand sea views and shelter from Atlantic storms, though the marram grass works overtime holding those shifting sands against the coastal gales.
