Question for Derry contingent Re Coleraine

[LC]

Portrush best avoided with a southern accent/ car registration. Portstewart the only friendly place for that kind of thing which is convenient if you're staying near the uni campus anyway. Plenty of pubs and restaurants in Portstewart and if the weather's good there's a good footpath for bikes if that's an option especially if there's good weather to avoid you using taxis

The vermin usually seem to congregate in Portrush.

Folks - thanks for the advice. Portstewart it is then. I'm a Tyrone man but I'll have a mix of Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare dads with me.

Yep.  Portrush is the north's version of Blackpool/Benidorm

Attracts the dregs like a fly to a blue light

Portstewart is a proper town with a bit more class and less amusement arcades

Plus totally friendly to anyone in a GAA top/southern reg car/accent etc etc

Portrush most times of yr is ok, still never wear a gaa top round it though, July fortnight, normally brings it. All the lowlife for a month, Whether this is the case this year with everything through the roof, price wise is anybody guess. Maybe have to behave themselves with the outside world looking on at the golf.

Funny you say that. I've only been to Portrush once , years ago. Was only a day trip so I  Can't remember much about it because we  spent the day in the  waterworld .  but I hear people say  there are a number of GAA tops around in summer.

Plus, when browsing in the shops for  souvenirs , they noticed a lot of  Irish names; Saoirse, Aoife, Caolan  and so on. So either  they've been lumbered with them , or  Catholics actually do frequent the place and  the shops cater for their  souvenir needs
