Portrush, a small seaside town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, has transformed from a seasonal fishing village into a year-round tourist destination. This change began with the opening of a tramway link in 1893, enabling easier access and solidifying its popularity as a resort. In recent years, particularly boosted by interest in gastronomic experiences, local businesses have enhanced their offerings, showcasing a broader cultural identity. As the trend for personalized trips grows, Portrush is establishing itself not just as a summer destination but as a vibrant part of Northern Ireland's tourism landscape.
In winter, when the winds blow icily and crowds are nowhere to be seen, Portrush can feel like the blustery end of the world.
A Portrush local who's been showing visitors around for 12 years says that for a long time it was simply a summertime location.
Portrush became one of Ireland's most popular resorts thanks to a nine-mile tramway link opened in 1893.
The town's gastronomic scene is booming, with local cafes improving quality to attract visitors year-round.
