A protected area of salt marsh, sand dunes, and woodland on the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in northwest Wales, featuring a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare birds, insects, and plants, with scenic trails and stunning views of the Irish Sea.
Blue badge parking near the visitors centre, sign shown from the road to direct. The sloping ramps into the visitors centre are well thought out, so manual wheelchair users aren't under strain to access the place. The toilet unit is also here. Fresh water fountain to top up water bottles. Gift shop The staff were really friendly and helpful in showing us where the accessible walk and other places were. There are a few walks... the accessible walk isn't a long one but is a pleasant one with lovely views. We also walked back down onto the road and walked onto the beach where the cars drive in as the sand was firm and the wheelchair didn't sink at all so it was nice to be able to walk along the beach a bit and sit and watch the sea for a while. We also walked back along the road up towards the caravan site where the cafe sign was and stopped there for a coffee and a rest. The staff there were friendly.
This is such a gem of a place. The beach and shingle bar are perfect for a walk. The staff at the visitor's centre are very friendly and helpful and there is plenty of information on the dunes and wildlife. Parking is PS4 but it is for all day.
Beautiful local nature reserve in the sand dunes. The visitor centre is lovely with wonderful staff here. The parking is PS4 all day right on the edge of the dunes. We did the long marked walk it was wonderful
Amazing - lovely beach. Went for walk through dunes and back along beach then stopped at cafe for cold drinks. Lots of parking PS4 for the day.
Best beach for walking a dog and having your own space too. An absolutely stunning beach, my only warning would be keep and eye on tide times when parking on the beach and also before you see the beach there is a large part of the road that's always flooded, I noticed this put off quite alot of people off and they decided not to risk their car and turned around. I very much doubt it's like it year round but it was like it mid March and on every occasion I went.
We were lucky it stayed dry for most of it. A lovely open space a few groups of other people, some with dogs. Ours we were able for 20 and 30 mins we were able to safely let them off lead. Without us coming close to others. It was so nice to have so much open space as the tide was out. But beware it can come in quickly and inconsistently in some areas. The Car Parking charge helps fund the place and for the hours we spent there was good value. As was the large size coffee served in the Visitor centre.
