This beach is popular with the locals - a safe sandy beach with beach cafes and shops to purchase essential buckets and spades. 

This is a long sweeping sandy bay just over the Menai Straits into Anglesey. You can see this beach from Hafod Rhug Uchaf and a walk along this stretch of sand will bring you at low tide to Llanddwyn Island where horses graze freely and where the story of Santes Dwynwen, the patron saint of lovers in Wales, started.

Here you will find a lively university town. Bangor may be one of the smallest cities in Britain, but that doesn’t prevent it from having what is said to be the longest High Street in Wales.

Why not take a walk along the picturesque pier?

Llyn, ‘Snowdon’s arm’, is the dramatically beautiful 24-mile-long finger of land pointing into the Irish Sea. Its status as an official ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ – which goes back more than 50 years – recognises the exceptional qualities of its coastline, along which you’ll find mile after mile of sandy beaches, towering headlands, sheltered coves and open bays rich in wildlife, all interlinked by the Llyn Coastal Path. Llyn is a stronghold of Welsh culture and language with a fascinating religious heritage. Visitors can trace it all by following the Pilgrim’s Route along the peninsula then taking a boat trip to Bardsey Island, a wildlife haven and National Nature Reserve designated by the Countryside Council for Wales.

Aberdaron ia an idyllic little village of white-painted fishermen’s houses and cottages perched on the tip of Llyn, the ‘Land’s End’ of North Wales.

Originally a fishing port, now a popular and stylish seaside resort with fine beaches of golden sands.

Nefyn is a popular seaside village with harbour. Its sweeping bay has over two miles of sand leading to the picturesque port of Porthdinllaen, now owned by the National Trust.

Known as the 'capital' of Llyn, Pwllheli is a refreshing - and unusual - mix of market town and seaside. It's also a high quality sailing destination with world class watersports facilities.
