Beach camping in Wales

·

Whether you’re hiking the 870-mile Wales Coast Path, which follows the entirety of the Welsh coastline, or seeking some good old-fashioned seaside fun at one of the country’s lively beach resorts—the beaches of Wales may surprise you. Make the most of the all-too-short summer months to swim and sunbathe at popular beach resorts like Llandudno, Conwy, Aberaeron, and Aberystwyth, all of which have options for campers. Alternatively, pack your wetsuit and go surfing or coasteering along the coast of Pembrokeshire or explore the wild coastline of Anglesey Island. With around 150 beaches to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect beachside campsite. Check your motorhome or caravan into a coastal holiday park with electric hookups and hardstanding, pitch your tent at a seafront Hipcamp away from the crowds, or go glamping in a luxury yurt, an eco-friendly glamping pod, or cosy tipi.

Crafted Camping at Ty’r Felin is a small family-run camping and glamping site on the edge of the land overlooking the sea at the end of the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales. It is set in a beautiful old meadow under the wooded hillside of Mynydd Rhiw overlooking the bay of Porth Neigwl or Hell's Mouth, its 4 mile sandy beach and the Cilan headland. Ty'r Felin is a truly magical place steeped in history that feels like stepping back in time 200 years, to a place where there is no electricity cables, telephone wires, TV aerials, tarmac or street lights. In this wild and beautiful place, Bob has created a small but beautifully made rustic eco-campsite, a place to come and camp traditional style or to glamp in comfort on the seashore with colourful washing facilities, hot showers and compost toilets. We offer you the opportunity to get away from everything on a site with no electricity or wi-fi, and to live differently, to tread lightly on this beautiful earth. We feel very strongly about using resources carefully, and ask guests to use water wisely and recycle everything recyclable. Here there is space to breathe, be free, run around and relax, and just a 5 minute walk down the track from the camping field is the rocky sea shore and a little cove where you can swim, paddle, crab or snorkle, kayak, fish, surf or paddle board. You do need to bring your own equipment. The seashore at Ty'r Felin is a great place for bird watching and looking out for dolphins. Brett from Top Cat Marine Safaris runs boat trips from the cove, to go fishing or wildlife watching. Just across the road is the National Trust house, garden and cafe at Plas yn Rhiw, and there are 2 other cafes within a mile, one nextdoor at Treheli and Caffi Top Cat 1 mile up the hill in Rhiw where Brett and Nia serve local seafood and delicious cakes. Porth y Swnt visitor centre in the cove village of Aberdaron is 3 miles away, Plas glyn y weddw art gallery and cafe in Llanbedrog is 8 miles, Abersoch is 9 miles, and Pwllheli and its supermarkets is 12 miles. There are lots of beaches and rocky cliffs in the area and a stunning coastal path. We offer you the opportunity to come & stay somewhere different, somewhere wild beautiful at the edge of the land and next to the sea.
