The seaside village of Portballintrae is home to several beaches, including Salmon Rock Beach and Runkerry Beach, also known as Bushfoot Beach.
Salmon Rock Beach is a small, sheltered beach located in Portballintrae, just west of the town's harbour. The beach is a mix of sand, shingle, and rocks, backed by grassy slopes and cliffs. It is a popular spot for paddling, sunbathing, and exploring the rock pools that emerge at low tide. The water is clear and clean, making it suitable for swimming on calm days, although there is no lifeguard on duty. The beach is also suitable for snorkelling and diving, with the rocky bay providing lots of interest.
Runkerry Beach, also known as Bushfoot Beach, is a northwest-facing sandy beach backed by dunes. The beach is located slightly off the beaten path and offers scenic views of the surrounding coastline. On the western side of the beach is the Portballintrae headland and the River Bush. Visitors can walk along the length of the beach to reach the western cliffs of the Giant's Causeway.
Facilities near the beaches are limited, but the village of Portballintrae is only a short walk away, offering parking, toilets, and cafes. Summer restrictions apply to Salmon Rock Beach between 1st June and 15th September.
Portballintrae Beach is adjacent to the Causeway Coast Way.
