  • Hi there

    Most of the beaches around this coastline are great. Harlech beach is particularly good for rock pools etc, and Black Rock sands is another massive stretch of great beach, although it's much busier. To be honest though, this coast is just one great beach after another so take your pick!

    There are some gorgeous beaches around Anglesey, Criccieth and Portmerrion is a must. There's a major Marine Biology Uni department at Bangor because the area is so rich in sea life, rock pools, etc... My friends sepnt this weekend on Anglesey and the photos of the coastline are stunning.
  • You are visiting a beautiful area and I am sure you will love it, whatever you do and whatever the weather. There are some beautiful (and quiet) beaches along the Llyn peninsula well worth a visit.
