The "stuff of dreams” is how one visitor describes this Welsh beach, which neighbours a national nature reserve and forest. You wouldn’t be wrong to think you were someplace on the west coast of the United States as you strolled among Corsican pines, with red squirrels scrambling up trees and a view of the glistening water as your backdrop.

Newborough’s expansive beach spreads out before you with an incredible view of Eryri’s towering mountains in the distance, which never gets old. This slice of heaven in Wales is full of delights, where you may see wild ponies grazing on large dunes that are constantly shifting, and ospreys looking for fish.
