I’ve been to Llandudno a few years ago and really enjoyed that but looking for another nice place to visit now. Closer to the beach…the better.

    Some great recommendations from both @Username_removed and @lisathomas50 :) 

    This guide on North Wales best beaches might help you make your decision too:

    Where I live I am higher than than the sea Mike so I walk along the front of the houses as there are no houses in front of me I can't say the name on here you would probably know it and the views across the sea are breathtaking I walk all the way down and the walk across the back of our houses and then back down its a big circle takes an hour to walk all the way round always with a fantastic view across the sea 

    It's a shame your not where you used to be but saying that I do know people who would rather not be by the sea and aren't kean on it 

    I think wales has a natural beauty

    When I was young we used to go on holiday to south Wales to a place called Fresh Water East in Pembrookshire, and I always found it to be such a beautiful place, with much better beaches than those of North Yorkshire.

    It's so lovely @lisathomas50 :) 

    There's also my favourite ice cream shop in Mumbles called Verdi's, have you been? They do the BEST ice cream flavours and I would always visit on the weekends.

    Yes I have been to verdies in mumbles @Libby_Scope but the best Welsh ice cream is Joe's ice cream cant beat it expensive if you go into the Joe's icecream parlour and eat it in I paid 20.00 for two tall glasses filled with an assortment of Joe's ice cream with sauce and all sorts of other nice things lol

    I can agree with @Libby_Scope's comment on Verdi's, I studied at Swansea too, and I always loved visiting there when in the Mumbles :) Everyone always said Joe's was better, but I preferred Verdi's, because there's such a lovely view inside when it's raining (which is more often than not)!

    In terms of the Gower my favourite place was always Rhossili Bay, it was so dramatic and changeable.

    @lisathomas50 I have to say all this talk makes having an ice cream quite tempting  :D

    @CoffeeFirst I hope you can find somewhere nice by the beach in North Wales to enjoy one or two! You'll have to let us know where you decide.

    I once had a lovely holiday near Caernarfon, I especially remember driving through the pass of Llanberis and a day trip to Conwy.
