12 of the best beaches in Wales
Secluded sandy beaches, rockpools and dunes are scattered along Wales' undiscovered coastline
Wales has some of the most dramatic coastlines in the world, with hundreds of hidden coves and bays. Yet many of the best beaches in Wales remain little known and rarely visited. Make the effort to find them and your reward will be some of the best beaches in the UK complete with Robinson Crusoe seclusion, pristine sands, sublime snorkelling and some of the best UK walking trails. On these wild beaches you won’t find lifeguards, so take care when swimming and check the tide times carefully – many beaches are at their best at low tide but can disappear altogether as the waves come bank in.
