The beautiful secret Welsh beach on an aristocratic estate that offers unparalleled views of Puffin Island

We're so lucky in Wales to have dozens and dozens of gorgeous beaches to choose from whenever we fancy a day out or evening walk along the beach. Across the country, we have everything from long sandy beaches with huge surfing waves to family-friendly bays and coves offering activities and facilities - and several hidden-away precious gems that can be a hassle to get to but are well worth the trip.

One such hidden-away gem of a beach is Penmon Point. Tucked away in the southeastern corner of Anglesey, this gorgeous largely-unknown spot offers incredible views of Puffin Island and Trwyn Du Lighthouse in one direction, Penmon Nature Reserve in another and the coast of Gwynedd and Conwy in another.

Unlike its neighbouring public beaches, Penmon Point is actually located at the far end of an aristocratic estate. To visit, you have to drive down a toll road, which comes with a small fee of £3.50 per vehicle, on the Baron Hill Estate founded by Sir Richard Williams-Bulkeley in 1618.
