Laurence Ghisoiu, senior visitor experience officer at the National Trust, “We are delighted to be able to offer these fantastic facilities from Portstewart Strand, allowing more and more of our visitors to be able to enjoy this beautiful beach”.

Sport NI chief executive Antoinette McKeown said, “Everyone deserves the opportunity to walk, run or wheel along the beach”.
