THE WELSH SEASIDE - Harlech

Some 10 miles north of Barmouth, Harlech has a wonderful beach that sweeps around Tremadog Bay. The beach has fine sand dunes and a backdrop of Snowdonian mountains. Looking seawards to the NW you can follow the coastline towards the Lleyn Peninsula and imagine the fine days you could have there also
There is something of a disconnect between the beach and the town, seeing as there is an upwards trek to be made between the two. The town of just under 1500 people has more of a feel of a sleepy village. What road traffic there is up and down the coast doesn't pass through the town unless a detour is made
There is a fine castle - well-preserved with with an interesting history. So much so it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle is easily picked out from a distant where line of sight is possible
The Cambrian Coast railway station is nearby. Trains going NW and S usually pass each other here every 2 hours

You can't beat a walk in the wilderness on a fine day 😀

Maybe when I grow up I’ll move to wales. It’s a lot cheaper to live in than the U.S and it’s looks 10x more beautiful too. I came too this video because I was randomly clicking around on google earth and managed to find Harlech and my goodness is it the nicest town I’ve ever seen!

Perhaps the best beach along the Cambrian Coast

That's a fantastic beach with a hidden treasure understand the sand in the shape of an American P38 Lightning fighter from WW2

This is excellent. Like myself I can clearly understand that you love this area. Well done. I loved your film very much.

A belated thanks, Mike
I haven't been anywhere near the Welsh coast so far this year, but can't help wondering how the locals will be getting on financially (assuming they don't all have lovely pension schemes, of course)

Have you tried Dyffryn nudist beach a little to your south?

[@swiftymorgan5064]

Not so far
Guessing I'd have to go starkers too? (Gulp)
