Portstewart is a popular sea-side resort with a sheltered harbour and crescent shaped pronenade lined with shops, cafes and restaurants. The Atlantic promenade leads past the Dominican Convent and on to the beautiful beach at Portstewart Strand which offers easy access and safe swimming.

Portstewart hosts the famous annual motor bike race, the North West 200. The town is also a great base for visiting all the attractions of the North Antrim Coast including the Giant's Causeway, Bushmills Whiskey Distillery and Carrick-a Rede Rope Bridge. There is a good selection of self catering Portstewart accommodation.
