Portstewart sits on the north Atlantic coast of County Londonderry within the Causeway Coast and Glens district and is defined by a sweep of sandy beach and dunes at Portstewart Strand and the rugged cliff walks that link it to neighbouring seaside towns. The ward combines the visible assets of a classic Victorian resort - promenade, terraces and seaside villas - with more dramatic coastal scenery associated with the wider Causeway Coast.
Locally the economy leans heavily on tourism, hospitality and leisure, with a notable golfing presence centred on Portstewart Golf Club and easy access to championship venues such as Royal Portrush, while independent shops, cafes and holiday accommodation shape the town centre. Socially it has a mixed community of long‑standing residents and seasonal visitors, and its historic seaside character and coastal paths make it a focal point for outdoor activities and coastal conservation in the region surrounding Coleraine and the Giant's Causeway.
