How to Explore the Causeway Coast Without a Car

March 6, 2026

At Bank Apartments, we believe that exploring the Causeway Coast can be both memorable and environmentally responsible. Portrush is the perfect base for discovering the North Coast while minimising your impact, with many of the region’s most beautiful attractions accessible by foot, public transport or low-impact experiences.

Explore Portrush on Foot

Many of Portrush’s highlights are just a short walk from Bank Apartments. Guests can stroll along the harbour, enjoy the scenic East and West Strand beaches, or walk along the coastal paths towards Ramore Head. Walking is one of the best ways to experience the town’s natural beauty while reducing your environmental footprint.


Public Transport Connections

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.


Authentic Local Experiences

Guests looking for a deeper connection to the area can take part in storytelling and heritage tours with Dalriada Kingdom Tours. These immersive experiences explore local mythology, history and culture while encouraging visitors to appreciate the natural landscape responsibly.



Small Choices Make a Big Difference

During your stay, we also encourage guests to take small steps to travel more sustainably. Walking where possible, supporting local businesses, and enjoying the natural beauty of the coastline responsibly all help preserve the destination for future visitors.

By choosing low-impact ways to explore, you can enjoy the very best of the Causeway Coast while helping protect the landscapes that make this part of Northern Ireland so special.

Why Choose a Serviced Apartment for Your North Coast Getaway Planning a trip with family, friends, or a small group can be exciting so choosing the right place to stay makes all the difference. While hotels and B&Bs are popular options, many travellers are discovering the benefits of serviced apartments when visiting the North Coast. At Bank Apartments Portrush , guests enjoy the best of both worlds: the space and privacy of a private apartment combined with the comfort and reliability of professionally managed accommodation. It’s a relaxed, practical choice for anyone organising a coastal getaway together. More Space to Relax One of the biggest advantages of serviced apartments is space. Instead of sharing a single hotel room, guests enjoy separate living, sleeping and kitchen areas , creating a much more comfortable environment. This is especially useful for families, couples travelling together, or groups of friends who want to spend time together while still having their own space to unwind after a day exploring the coast. Flexible and Cost-Effective Serviced apartments often offer better value for longer stays. Having a fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare breakfasts, pack lunches for beach days, or enjoy relaxed evenings dining together. For groups and families, this flexibility helps reduce dining costs while also creating a more social and comfortable stay.

The story of the Belfast Banking Company buildings is one of civic pride, architectural ambition and remarkable resilience. Across Belfast and the wider region, these former banking halls were built to impress with symbols of commercial confidence during the Victorian and early 20th centuries. Today, many of these landmark buildings have been carefully restored and repurposed, blending heritage with modern life. On the North Coast, that legacy continues at Bank Apartments Portrush with a beautifully restored former branch of the Belfast Bank, offering guests the chance to stay within a piece of living history.
