Where can I park at Portrush East Strand, and what are the charging days and hours?
Portrush East Strand council car park is listed at 50p per hour, with charges from 8.30am to 6.30pm every day of the week throughout the year. The council lists 537 spaces, making it one of the larger off-street parking options in Portrush.
Local car park, route and access details
East Strand is not one of the council’s seasonal car parks. Unlike West Strand, where the published charging season is 1 April to 30 September, East Strand has year-round charging including Sundays. Dunluce Avenue also charges 50p per hour year-round and has 240 spaces. Harbour Road is another option but costs £1 per hour and has a later charging finish of 9.30pm.
What to check before travelling
For a visit to East Strand beach, use the named East Strand car park rather than assuming all Portrush beach car parks follow identical rules. Check the machine and current signs before leaving the vehicle, especially if you intend to remain into the evening. The published capacity is a total number of spaces, not live availability during a busy summer weekend.
