We asked people where in Wales is the best place to go on a sunny day and people had loads of suggestions

Wales experienced some lovely weather on the weekend, with some parts of the country hitting 17°C. It was a glorious weekend across the nation, with people heading out to popular parks and beaches to enjoy the sunshine.

This week, parts of Wales will be hit with more warm weather, with highs if 18 °C in some areas. Though some may experience some cloud and showers, overall Wales is in for a pleasant week. To get the latest news and weather updates from WalesOnline click here.

The Met Office forecast reads: "Monday will be another fine day. There will be some patchy cloud, but plenty of sunny spells too. Perhaps an isolated afternoon shower developing. Feeling pleasant in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 17 °C."

We asked our readers for their favourite places in Wales to visit on a sunny day. We asked: "Where is the best place to go on a sunny day in Wales?"

Loads of people suggested Barafundle Bay as the best day out in the sunshine, while others simply said "west is best". There were countless responses for Porthcawl and Barry Island, spots which are typically popular with tourists too. Some people were more specific.

Kathryn Kelly said: "Poppit sands. Love it, such a lovely long beach, where you get to see seals and occasional dolphins." Chelsea George said: "Driving down past Tal y Llyn lake with the sunshine beaming today. So proud to live in such a gorgeous country."

Anthony Hughes said: "Bala lake hands down - nothing beats an ice cream down by the lake on a sunny day." Eileen Hayes said: "Swansea Bay. Sweeping views across to Devon, a great strandline to poke about in, cafés to quench your thirst in, two piers (the west pier and Mumbles pier) to stroll on. 8kms of heaven."

The Welsh coastline is well-known for having some of the most beautiful beaches in the UK. One beach in Tenby was last year named as one of the most beautiful in the world.

Lots of readers weren't too fussy on where to spend their sunny day - as long as it was in Wales. There were suggestions to avoid the typical tourist spots, too.

Maureen Butler said: "Anywhere away from the crowds, just avoid 'popular' coastal spots." Jamie Arnold said: "Everyone forgets good old Roath park."

And our favourite comment, from Richard Whelan, said: "Anywhere, our home is beautiful in every way." We agree, Richard.
