Stunning beaches and coastal walks. Spot the washed up jellyfish on the beach. It seemed dangerous to swim at nearby beaches because of the current and jellyfish, but there were beaches within walking distance that looked swimmable. Really enjoyed the well maintained coastal paths and beautiful scenery.
Loved this place, it is a hidden gem of a beach, perfect for little ones and grown ups alike. We were told about it by one of the locals and it was worth the visit. There are no shop or toilet facilities nearby so go prepared with a picnic, and all your beachy fun stuff, plus a little shelter in case you need a bit of shade like my hubby. The path to it is adventurous, definitely sparking the imagination and lots of little coves to explore. Unfortunately it's not wheelchair accessible. The small car park is pay and display and people were launching small boats from it, others had paddle boards out on the water, on a sunny day, it's an especially stunning area. The car park is surrounded by an arch of holiday lets, and a couple of licensed eateries. We will definitely be going back for another little visit in the near future.
Lovely sandy beach hidden from the mass. You'll need to find your way through small paths as there is no car park. Once there there are enough space to build sand castles, play with the ball or just splash in the little pools if you go with low tide. The current is really strong so do not swim in open waters.
Loved this beach. It felt secluded and private, even though it was quite busy. Even at the high tide, there was still enough beach to dig and build sandcastles.
The way we got into the beach was not straightforward. The walk to get to the beach was initially along a road, then a footpath then down a slightly uneven path to the beach. I was able to get there but it was not accessible to everyone. There may have been another route at the other end of the beach.
A fantastic part of Wales. A charming place with a beautiful landscape where you can walk at any time of the year and enjoy what you see around you, regardless of the weather.
A beautiful spot for a family, or solo traveler. I believe there is a car park? But there are lots of roads you can park on. You can follow paths along the top of the beaches which drop down at the different parts. I’m not sure if the tide is in whether you can walk through the different beaches from the sand/ shoreline but me and my daughter did when the tide was out and it was beautiful to explore. There are rock pools along so lots of crabbing if you wish and when the tide is out you can find “pools of water which are still rather deep” sometimes the drop in the sea is rather deep. You will find loads of jelly fish washed up on the beach! Our kids wore buoyancy aids for piece of mind as they aren’t strong swimmers, there is a current there. If you like as a swimmer you can swim over to the “desert island” on the other side of the sea where there is a channel that forms when the tide is out. If you make it to the island by boat, canoe or whatever you’ll find shallow warm pools of water your little kids may enjoy! In one part of the beach is a sand hill which kids roll and jump down, looks very fun. There aren’t any lifeguards about that I saw, no toilets either. It is however incredibly beautiful, oh and lots of shells for the little ones to collect.
Beautiful beach, soft sand, rocks to climb and a small pool area when the tide is out. Not recommended to swim in the sea due to currents but you are warned of this when arriving at the beach. Love this place ❤️
A series of lovely, quiet bays with small beaches and stunning views. The tide comes in quickly however and bathers are warned about fast currents, so care is advised.
