North Wales is where you’ll find some of the best beaches in the UK, all within driving distance of Manchester. Along the region’s coastline are sheltered sandy coves, rugged shorelines and harbours which could rival those in the Mediterranean.
One destination which boasts several stunning beaches is the village of Abersoch, located in the south-eastern corner of the Llyn Peninsula and overlooking Cardigan Bay. Historically Abersoch was a fishing port, but in the 1950s it experienced a huge boom in tourism - and with stunning scenery it's easy to see why.
The village is centred around where the River Soch flows into the sea, creating a natural harbour. Sailing is a huge part of life in Abersoch and you’ll spot rows of boats floating in the marina.
