The small fishing village of Portballintrae is one of Northern Ireland's prettiest and best positioned. It's close to some of the UK's top beaches, and just a short drive from the famous Giant's Causeway. There's a good mix of holiday lettings in the area, from modern beachfront apartments to larger, detached properties in the countryside.
Seaside fun for the whole family
Portballintrae lends itself perfectly to a family seaside holiday. At low tide, the kids can explore rock pools, build sandcastles, or paddle in the sea. Whiterocks Beach, to the west of the village, is one of the area's largest. It's the perfect spot for kite flying or just exploring the unusual rock formations and arches that have been formed by the weather over the centuries. Barry's Amusements, in nearby Portrush, has all the traditional seaside rides and attractions, and Waterworld brings the family together for 10-pin bowling or swimming.
Explore the World Heritage Area of the Causeway Coast
Portballintrae holiday rentals are just a short drive from one of Northern Ireland's most famous locations, the Giant's Causeway. Leave your car at the visitor centre and approach the area on foot for the best views of the basalt columns. Also close by is famous Dunluce Castle, which is dramatically perched on cliffs above the sea. If you think Dunluce looks familiar, you might recognise it as a location in the television series, Game of Thrones. One of the area's main employers is the Bushmills whiskey distillery. Tour the factory floor, learn about the history of distilling, or pick up some gifts in the shop.
All the thrills and spills of the North West 200
Each May, the Antrim coast hosts Northern Ireland's most exciting sporting event, the North West 200. Join the crowds lining the roadsides to see the world's fastest motorcycle riders whizz past at over 100 miles per hour.
