Portstewart Strand, County Londonderry
Swimplaces
Description: Catch a wave or soak up the sun on this two-mile stretch of white sand in County Londonderry on the north coast of Northern Ireland, named one of the UK’s best beaches by Rough Guides. If you tire of swimming, it’s also a National Trust conservation site so you can check out the butterflies and wild pansy flowers, if you dig that sort of thing. Or for something a bit different try your hand at slacklining.
