About

Portstewart ward sits along the Atlantic coastline, centred on the town of the same name. The area includes the expansive sands of Portstewart Strand, a wide beach backed by dunes. Inland, the landscape transitions to residential streets and the campus of Ulster University. The River Bann forms the ward's southern boundary, separating it from the town of Portstewart's larger neighbour, Portrush.

The town's compact centre is defined by its promenade, which curves around a rocky harbour and small pier. This coastal walk offers views across to the Donegal hills. A notable local feature is the historic, cliff-top Strand Presbyterian Church. The ward encompasses surrounding townlands, blending coastal tourism with quieter residential and university life, all within a relatively small geographic area.
