Windswept coastal hikes, sandy surf beaches, and epic coasteering adventures—welcome to Wales.
The coast of Wales is nothing if not varied. Rugged sea cliffs, secluded sandy coves, and windswept dunes give way to glorious stretches of golden sand and lively seaside resorts, ideal for family beach holidays—when the Welsh weather behaves itself, at least. Highlights include puffin-spotting along Anglesey Island in spring, coasteering along the shores of Pembrokeshire, and winter surfing along the Llŷn Peninsula, but the ultimate challenge is hiking the epic Wales Coast Path, which follows the entire 870-mile coastline. As for camping, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Holiday parks and caravan parks dot the coast and offer electric hookups and hardstanding sites with full facilities, or you could check into a luxury glamping pod or a cosy bell tent within walking distance of the beach. Alternatively, seek out a quiet coastal campsite or Hipcamp, where you can pitch your tent with an ocean view.
