The Ultimate Guide to the Best Beaches in North Wales

Sun, Sand, and Sea: North Wales' Coastal Treasures

When you think of North Wales, the majestic peaks of Snowdonia might be the first thing that comes to mind. However, the region's coastline is just as spectacular, boasting some of the most beautiful and diverse beaches in the UK. At Beach View Holidays, we know a thing or two about the coast, after all, properties like our House By The Sea and Cabin Near Beach are situated right on it!

Whether you are looking for a family-friendly spot to build sandcastles, a windswept stretch for dog walking, or a quiet cove for a peaceful retreat, North Wales has a beach for you. Here is our guide to the very best.

1. Prestatyn Central Beach

Let us start right on our doorstep. Prestatyn Central Beach is a vast, sandy expanse that is perfect for traditional seaside fun. It holds a Blue Flag award for its cleanliness and water quality. The promenade is great for cycling and walking, and its proximity to our Studio, Central Beach Prestatyn makes it incredibly convenient for our guests.

2. Rhos-on-Sea Beach

A little further west along the coast, Rhos-on-Sea offers a charming, more relaxed alternative to the larger resorts. The beach features a mix of sand and shingle, and the breakwaters create calm, safe waters for paddling. The promenade is lined with lovely cafes where you can enjoy an ice cream or a cup of tea while overlooking the harbour.

3. Llandudno West Shore

While Llandudno's North Shore is famous for its Victorian promenade and pier, the West Shore offers a quieter, more rugged experience. It is a large, sandy beach that is popular with kite surfers and offers stunning views across the Conwy Estuary toward the mountains of Snowdonia and Anglesey. It is a fantastic spot to watch the sunset.

4. Colwyn Bay Beach

Colwyn Bay has seen significant investment in recent years, resulting in a fantastic, wide sandy beach that is perfect for families. The Porth Eirias complex on the waterfront offers water sports facilities and a highly-rated bistro. It is a great place for a full day out by the sea.

5. Barkby Beach, Prestatyn

If you are staying in our Dog Friendly House, Barkby Beach in Prestatyn is a must-visit. While some areas have seasonal dog restrictions, Barkby Beach is generally more accommodating and offers a fantastic stretch of sand for your furry friend to run and play. It is backed by a golf course and offers a slightly wilder feel than the Central Beach.
