Golden sands, secluded coves, and surf spots—Wales' north coast has it all.
Whether you’re hiking the epic Wales Coast Path, spotting puffins along the shores of Anglesey Island (April to early July), or coasteering along the rugged northwest coast—the 370-mile-long coastline of North Wales provides some spectacular terrain for beach camping. For the best beaches, head to the coast of Snowdonia National Park, where beach resorts like Barmouth and Llwyngwril are family favourites, or the Llŷn Peninsula Area of Natural Beauty, where you’ll find blue flag beaches like the surf beach of Porth Neigwl and the National Trust-owned Llanbedrog Beach. Coastal campers will find plenty of North Shore beachside options to suit all needs—and here, the highlight is the location: many lie within walking distance of the beach or provide direct access to coastal walking trails along windswept headlands. Seek out a tranquil coastal campsites on Hipcamp to pitch your tent away from the crowds, or check your motorhome or caravan into a family-friendly holiday park with hardstanding sites, electric hookups, and full facilities. You could even book a beachside glamping site to enjoy sea views from a luxury bell tent or glamping pod.
