Along the coastline of North Wales are incredible beaches which are worth the drive from Manchester. There’s seaside villages which are perfect for rock pooling, rugged beaches ideal for surfing and even tiny hidden coves which are just waiting to be explored.
One of the biggest beaches in North Wales can be found at the northern end of Cardigan Bay. Harlech Beach is a vast expanse of sand overlooked by a magnificent medieval castle.
Adding to the scenery are stunning views of the Snowdonia mountains, which can be seen in the distance. The beach itself is lined with sloping sand dunes, adding to the natural beauty as well as being a haven for wildlife.
