What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Llanddulas Beach is appreciated for its peaceful, non-touristy atmosphere and unique pebble-strewn shore, offering a tranquil escape. While some find the lack of sand and limited facilities a drawback, others value its natural beauty and free parking. It's best suited for quiet walks and enjoying the coastal scenery rather than traditional beach activities.
"This is a rocky/pebble beach popular with dog walkers but it's not somewhere you'd go to build sandcastles. On the plus side there's plenty of free parking which I expect explains the popularity of the beach. The public toilets are currently closed down although there is a plan to redevelop them. The Tides Bistro offers food and drink (and toilets).
On an unrelated note Google Maps really need to sort out this listing as it's been a while since I've seen a listing on here with so many irrelevant and random photos. I'd say well over half the photos uploaded here aren't of Llanddulas Beach, and quite a few are of places that are more than ten miles away from Llanddulas Beach. For example there are some wierd, random photos of a section of the A55 Expressway that's about 20 miles from Llanddulas. Why??? Sort it out Google!!!"

"This beach is very rocky and there's limited access due to the coastal erosion defences. If you want a beach to sit on or build sandcastles then go to Colwyn Bay or Rhyl instead."

"Really loved the vibe at Llanddulas Beach β super peaceful and not touristy at all. Itβs one of those places where you can just walk, breathe, and clear your head. The beach is all smooth pebbles in loads of different colours and shapes β honestly kind of hypnotic just looking at them.
Not your typical sandy beach, but thatβs what makes it special. Great for a quiet stroll, collecting cool stones, or just sitting by the sea and listening to the waves. Thereβs a nice coastal path too if you fancy a longer walk or cycle.
Easy to get to, with parking nearby, and not overly busy which made it feel like a hidden gem. Would definitely go back for a chilled-out seaside moment."
