Wales beach holidays

With over 840 miles of captivating coastline to choose from, it can be hard to choose a holiday in Wales by the sea that will be just right for you and your loved ones. Here are our top recommendations from each region to help you make that very decision! 

Starting with a stay on the North Wales coast, on the magnificent Llŷn Peninsula you’ll find a selection of breathtaking beaches, whilst further inland you’re free to explore the magnificent Snowdonia / Eryri National Park with a coastal cottage in Snowdonia / Eryri. One of the most popular beaches on the north coast is Harlech Beach, known as one of Wales’ most historic beaches. Overlooked by the mighty Harlech Castle, a medieval castle built by Edward I, this beach is not just historic, but it’s also a Site of Scientific Special Interest thanks to its amazing network of sand dunes. Perfect for a scenic walk, this beach is easily one of the best in Wales. Llanbedrog, Porthdinllaen, Colwyn Bay and many, many more also await on this stretch of the coast, offering everything from remote, calm beaches, to traditional seaside fun and flair. For unparalleled beauty and seaside adventures, visit Anglesey, a historic island full of coastal character and brilliant beaches.   

Down the other end of the country, you’ll find the South Wales coast, known predominantly for its mighty waves. On the Gower peninsula, there are a number of beaches that are perfect for catching a wave, long dog walks, watersports and much, much more. Rhosilli is consistently voted Gower’s top beach, known for its sweeping sandy shores, coastal path walks through woodland and over clifftops, and for being dog friendly all year round. Our Gower holiday cottages with sea views are perfect for a dog-friendly holiday as, just like Rhosilli, many of the beaches here are dog-friendly.  

Stay on the West Wales coastline and discover our Pembrokeshire coast cottages, a county known for its award-winning beaches and the UK's only coastal national park. The UK’s smallest city, St Davids can be found here, as well as the popular coastal fishing town of Tenby, known for its colourful buildings. Tenby has four fantastic beaches: North Beach, Castle Beach, Harbour Beach and South Beach, all with sandy shores and stunning views. Tenby is a great holiday location because it combines beautiful Pembrokeshire beaches with all the amenities you’d expect from a coastal town, including fabulous shops, eateries, walks and family-friendly activities.
