Hidden away out of sight is perhaps one of Wales' prettiest and least-accessible beaches which can only be visited with a special pass. Frainslake Beach, just around the corner from Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire, is absolutely stunning - a deserted windswept expanse of perfect golden sand punctuated by the occasional rocky outcrop.
Virtually untouched by the general public, it's more likely to get shelled by troops in training. Among the almost-white sand, flecked with fragments of seashells, are spent 120mm shells lying around on the downs behind the beach, which extend for hundreds of metres. It looks like a desert island with bleached tree trunks washed up on the high tide line and a perfect stretch of soft sand hemmed in by black rocks extending out into the turquoise blue sea.
