Hay on Wye - all beaches

I visited Barry Island for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the beach. It was an ideal spot for families with nearby options for good food and drinks. We had a fantastic day out, although the only downside was the poor condition of the toilets. However, considering it's a beach, it's not unexpected, but they were still below average. Despite this, I still rate my experience five stars and would definitely return as it was exactly what we were looking for. I also had the pleasure of trying O'Sheas fish and chips, which were outstanding. The curry sauce was possibly the best I've ever tasted, and the fish and chips were equally delicious.

Fantastic spot for a family outing. There's free parking and plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. You can pedal around the pond in a flamingo, let the kids enjoy the trampolines, feed the ducks, and explore a large play park and skate park. Take a stroll along the waterfront and check out the outdoor gym equipment. There's also a Lido, which we might try on our next visit! You could easily spend an entire day here. The café was excellent for lunch and offered reasonable prices.

Wonderful stroll through the dunes leading to Sker beach. Perfect for children, with opportunities for rock climbing and plenty of off-leash dogs. Enjoyable walk to the point, with lifeguards stationed at one end. The beach remains spacious and open even when the tide is in.

We enjoy taking a stroll around Sandy Bay, especially the dunes, which our little dog absolutely adores. It's incredibly serene there. Additionally, there's a cozy café nearby where you can grab a bite to eat and enjoy a quick cup of tea near Trecco Bay campsite.

This stunning beach boasts a charming blend of old stone architecture and modern design. Parking is conveniently available on the sandy shore, and visitors can look forward to experiencing one of the largest tidal ranges in the South of England. Located near the M5, this beach is easily accessible and perfect for a day trip or weekend getaway.

This beach in Porthcawl is probably the best one they have, mainly because of its large size and stunning bay views. Out of all the beaches I've been to, this is the one I've spent the most time at. It provides a more peaceful and enjoyable experience, with clearer waters compared to Sandy Bay.
