Portrush is well connected by rail and bus, making it easy to explore the wider Causeway Coast without relying on a car. The train line links Portrush with nearby towns such as Coleraine, allowing visitors to continue their journey to other destinations across Northern Ireland.
Discover the Causeway Coast
One of the most popular day trips from Portrush is visiting the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its unique basalt columns and dramatic coastal scenery. Many visitors choose to reach the area by public transport, including the electric bus service operating along the Causeway Coast route, which offers a lower-emission way to explore the area. Guided tours are also available, sharing the history, geology and legends of the landscape while helping visitors better understand this remarkable natural landmark.
