With the sun continuing to shine this weekend, many of us will have spent some time down by the beach, enjoying the warm weather and maybe even taking a dip in the water.
But let's face it, one of the most annoying parts of a beach trip is having to park your car a considerable distance away from the water before carrying your towel, deck chair, and anything else you might have brought with you through the sand and shingle to find a suitable spot to set up camp.
That's where Black Rock Sands at Morfa Bychan near Porthmadog in Wales shines - as you get to drive directly onto the sand, although strict parking regulations prevent you from parking too close to the sea (as it could put you and your vehicle in danger).
