Can you drive onto Portstewart Strand beach?

Yes, Portstewart Strand is managed by the National Trust with vehicle access onto its beach parking area when conditions allow.

Local access and parking details

This is not the same arrangement as a normal tarmac town car park. Beach admission is managed, with last vehicle entry before closing and vehicles required to leave by the displayed time. Opening can vary with weather and beach conditions.

Before you go

Follow the staffed entrance and posted beach driving limits; do not assume overnight parking or vehicle access when the beach is closed.
