Big beaches are great: they have plenty of space to spread out in, lots of swimming spots to choose from, not to mention arcades, piers and fish and chip shops. Yet there’s something special about stumbling across a secluded cove.
A tiny beach is a proper slice of paradise and the smaller the patch of sand, the more precious it feels. North Wales has more than its fair share of stunning beaches, but if you’re prepared to venture away from the tourist hotspots, you’ll certainly be rewarded.
Tucked in between two headlands on the Western side of the Lyn Peninsula is Porth Iago. It’s a small but perfectly-formed beach where rugged green land slopes down to golden sand.
