What’s the nicest sandy beach in Wales ?

[Lardlizard]

Thinking of taking a trip to wales sometime

Llansteffan

I also love Rhossili beach and second the recommendation of accessing it via the Hill End campsite rather than the steep steps at Rhossili. Port Eynon is my favourite beach though - shorter walk from the car park and closer toilets than Rhossili, fab rock pools and shops, including fish & chips.

Came on to say Rhossili or Three Cliffs. Mwnt is lovely in Cardigan too.

I'm from the area and say Gower or The Gower, short for The Gower Peninsula interchangeably, either are acceptable IMO

Newborough, Anglesey. absolutely stunning with forest, dunes, and outstanding views of Snowdonia and the peninsula

Caswell Bay is beautiful, in Swansea. Perfect place for young children to learn to surf!

Another local here who says The Gower!

Wales has so many wonderful sandy beaches you are spoilt for choice- it just depends on what you want, remote with no facilities or easy parking, cafe and toilets?

Where are you travelling from and what are you looking for?

Three cliffs, Caswell (if you want facilities), Langland (if you want a cracking lunch or dinner too!), Tor Bay 😍😍😍, Whitfoed if you want remote and a cool walk there through woods and then out to a lighthouse (tide dependant).... Basically anywhere in Gower 😍

I used to live in Swansea and the beach there is lovely IMHO. God I miss Swansea!

So are you a "local traditionalist"?

lol - no, just trained by one. Although she'd be shocked to learn that's what she is!

Lived in Swansea, always called it The Gower, and it's immortalised in song (Did you ever see, sung on many a school trip!). The Gower peninsula. Sorry if that offends anyone (why does it though?) Take your pick OP, there's no shortage of glorious beaches.

I'm going to vote for every single beach that I saw when I visited North Wales. They were all amazing. (And my local beaches are on the north coast of Antrim, so I am not easily impressed when it comes to beaches.!)

Gah, I want to go back to Wales, it's beautiful.

Huzzah-just going to wales today and picked up the campsite parking tip-thank you!

We are at Barry now
It’s been rammed over the bank holiday
Might get a bit quieter this week but wouldn’t bank on it

Tenby beaches are fab, especially the south beach.

Ynyslas beach near Borth.

I was just coming g on to say the same ones! Plus Penbryn.

Rhossili Bay

New gale is lovely!

Manorbier
Freshwater

SIL is a big fan of Solva.

Porthgain is a harbour
The Blue Lagoon is a flooded quarry next to a pebbly beach.

Oxwich in Gower is gorgeous, the DC have spent so many happy days there.

Rhossili is lovely as everyone's said, and Caswell, Port Eynon and Three Cliffs are all wonderful. I know you weren't asking about it, but Verdi's restaurant in Mumbles does an amazing cherry soda if you're ever there, too.

Caswell (we stayed in a fab chalet just a short walk from the beach) or
Langland. Both within easy distance of Mumbles and Swansea.

Poppit sands near Newport is a gem, as is Three Cliffs on the Gower.

Also three cliffs bay is gorgeous
