Builth Wells - all beaches

There's a wonderful free car park located at the civic centre, allowing you to enjoy leisurely barefoot strolls along the beach. You can park for up to three hours without any charge.

This beach is absolutely charming and welcomes dogs. It's conveniently located right next to the water, and during low tide, you can stroll between the two beaches. The cleanliness is impressive, and there's even a concrete area to sit if you prefer not to be in the sand. Additionally, there are many shells to be found.

This beach is quite lovely, with cliffs on one side and a large pier on the other. It's not the best place to spread out a beach towel and relax, though, since the sand is a bit rocky. Dogs are welcome here. There's a rumor going around that on rare occasions, when the tide is high and the weather is cold enough to create frost on the rocks, a massive dolphin that's as big as a car might be spotted. Only a lucky few have witnessed it, however.

This beach is incredibly huge. It's extremely welcoming to dogs, as we encountered numerous furry friends during our visit. The dunes provide a delightful pathway to stroll through, although it can be challenging if you're carrying a lot of things. The dune area is teeming with rabbits. There's a stretch of rocks, perfect for collecting and painting, followed by a spacious beach since the sea is quite far out. However, during our second visit, the beach was filled with jellyfish of different sizes, which deterred us from taking a swim. If you happen to be in the Aberystwyth area and prefer a softer sandy beach, I highly recommend this one.

This beach is absolutely breathtaking! The portion of the beach that welcomes dogs year-round is actually larger than the section that restricts them. During peak times, parking can be a bit of a challenge due to the small size of the beach town. Regrettably, I have difficulty with mobility and found the town, beachfront, and nearby beach towns to be less accommodating for those with disabilities. Additionally, there is a significant shortage of public restrooms along the beachfront. However, if you're seeking a peaceful and serene getaway with stunning views, this is the perfect spot. You'll also have the opportunity to embark on boat rides to witness seals, porpoises, and dolphins up close.

We were thrilled to stumble upon this hidden treasure of a beach! The stretch of sandy shoreline is absolutely stunning, with a few rocky patches towards the upper end that don't detract from the abundance of sand perfect for building sandcastles. The water is pristine and clear, making it an ideal spot for swimming or paddle boarding. To top it off, this beach is also dog-friendly, which is a huge plus for pet owners. We opted to park near the Llanina woodland parking area due to the crowded car park. A brief stroll through the woods (no more than 5-10 minutes) leads you to the beach. During low tide, you can even take a leisurely walk all the way to New Quay. However, as the tide was coming in, we chose to drive just six minutes down the road to New Quay beach instead.
