With summer just around the corner thoughts quickly turn to a day at the beach. There’s nothing better on a sunny day than heading to the seaside, going for a walk along the sand and having a paddle in the waves.
It can be tricky choosing a beach to visit, but there’s one which has been described as a “hidden gem” by visitors, thanks to the miles of golden sand it has to offer and its picturesque lighthouse. Fortunately it's less than a 90 minute drive from Greater Manchester, making it ideal for a day trip.
Located on the North Wales coast, Talacre Beach sits opposite the Wirral, across the River Dee. It features grass-topped sand dunes which give way to a vast expanse of sand with incredible views out to sea.
