With miles and miles of rugged and unspoilt coastline, surely no holiday to the West coast of Wales would be complete without a visit to at least (if not all!) of our beautiful little beaches. Don’t expect sun loungers for hire, and rows of shops selling inflatable beach toys, but with blue flag status a-plenty, clean sands, clear waters, caves, waterfalls, cliffs, rock pools, and of course, the largest population of dolphins in Europe put on a show on a regular basis, meaning our local beaches are not to be missed.
