Latest reviews on Caernarfon's beaches

Benllech Beach
10 Nolan Ristovski

This is a fantastic sandy beach where you can have a great time with your loved ones. The photos were taken during sunrise. From October 1st to April 30th, dogs are permitted on the entire beach, while from May 1st to September 30th, they are only allowed on half of it.

Newborough Beach
10 JASON LEE

This breathtaking beach is truly priceless, although a small parking fee of £2 for 2 hours or £7 for longer than 4 hours is required. While it's disappointing that natural wonders have become commercialized, the beauty of this spot is worth the cost. The only downside is the access road, which has too many speed bumps and not enough passing places. However, it's a small price to pay for the chance to experience this incredible location. Plus, if you head south, you'll be treated to the most stunning views of North Wales and Snowdonia. In my opinion, this beach is a true gem and a must-visit for anyone seeking natural beauty and tranquility.

Llanddona Beach
10 Rashid Ali

This place is absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous. Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded at all, even though we visited in late August during the summer holidays. We were delighted to find free parking available, as well as ample space near the beach for parking. The scenery was absolutely stunning, with lush green hills in the background and a long stretch of sandy beach. It was the perfect location for leisurely walks and exploration. Due to its size and the fact that the tide goes out quite far, there was plenty of room to feel like you had the entire place to yourself. I would highly recommend this place. The narrow approach was also incredibly picturesque, although it could be a bit challenging if another car came from the opposite direction. However, it was definitely worth the effort!

We were incredibly fortunate with the weather during our visit to the beach. Despite being in Wales, the photos we captured could easily pass for those taken in Spain or other picturesque destinations. The beach itself was absolutely stunning, with a peaceful and serene atmosphere that left us feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. To reach the beach, we enjoyed a lovely walk along the river, which added to the overall experience. All in all, it was a truly unforgettable day spent soaking up the beauty of nature.
