On a beach…welcome to manonabeach.com, where I’ll regularly add video of my beach visits, so you can enjoy a flavour of the beach, even when you’re not there.

Season: summer

Dinas Dinlle beach is expansive, with views across to Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey and to the Llyn Peninsula.  The slipway on the beach supports the many water sports that feature here, including sea canoeing, scuba diving and snorkeling.  The fishing is good here too and the beach is popular with surfers.  The Bryn Dinas historic monument is nearby and the area is excellent for walking, both on and behind the beach.  Dinas Dinlle has Blue Flag status and is recommended by the Marine Conservation Society.

Season: summer

This beach is the perfect setting for a romantic evening stroll when the sun goes down in the west.  There is more here, though.  The water quality is excellent, recommended by the Marine Conservation Society, while the beach is well known for its water sports, including kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing and even kitesurfing.  The nearby village has shops and restaurants, but the beach itself feels undeveloped and natural, sheltered in its quiet inlet, along with gently sloping dunes and sand.

Rhosneigr Beach

Season: summer

Although there is plenty of sand at Rhosneigr beach, it is also rocky.  Its exposed location makes it ideal for windsurfing and water sports for experienced practitioners, but the sea can be lively for swimming, despite the excellent water quality.  The beach has earned the Green Coast Award and is recommended by the Marine Conservation Society.  There’s a slipway to assist with boating, as well as nearby cafes and shops.  This area is a popular surfing spot too.
