The 13 best family beaches in Wales for a day out at the seaside
May 1, 2025
Let us take the hassle out of going to the seaside with this round-up of the best beaches for families in Wales
Kids flipping love the seaside. Sandcastles, rock pools, paddling in the shallows and eating endless ice cream, it’s all part of the fun. But let’s be honest, family beach days are much better when you don't have haul buckets and spades, buggies and tired toddlers up massive dunes just to reach the sea.
That’s why we’ve compiled a list of some of Wales's best family-friendly beaches where the kids can build sandcastles, splash about and nag you for a lolly from the nearby cafe. Expect sandy stretches with space to play, loos nearby, and easy access for little legs. All you need to do is pack the snacks and pick your favourite. No rankings, just brilliant beaches.
Pop pit Sands, Cardigan
With blue-flag bathing, a lush bakery and a car park right on the beach front, Poppit Sands is a top choice for families looking for an easy beach day without trekking for miles.
This wide, dune-backed beach at the mouth of the River Teifi has all the hallmarks of a brilliant Welsh beach, expansive golden sands, big skies, sweeping estuary views and even dolphin sightings if you're lucky!
The marine-life-rich rock pools are perfect for a spot of low-tide exploration for the kiddos, and if Mam and Dad are into birdwatching, there are plenty of guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, and kittiwakes to spot.
