Presthaven Beach Resort

Highlight • Beach

Presthaven Sands is packed with fun, thrills, and fresh air. Everything is close or within walking distance. Having great pools, you will be sure of a great time. You can cycle through the holiday park with ease it gets busy over the children's summer holiday.
Watch out for people riding the donkeys 🫏
If you need anything, there is a shop on site. I would definitely have a couple of days at the caravan park.

Gronant Dunes Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A perfect vantage spot to observe the wildlife or simply to enjoy the views up and down the beach, out to sea and across the dunes. A long, very well maintained boardwalk takes from the public footpath through the reed beds and dunes to the viewing point and beach. There is a shelter at the viewing point providing a peaceful place to sit and rest.

"The sand dunes at Gronant have been designated as a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as they provide an important habitat for a variety of important plant and animal life. Marine flora found here includes sea holly, marram grass and rare dune fescue. Look carefully and you might even spot natterjack toads, lizards and North Wales’ only breeding colony of little terns. In the winter months bird watchers visit the dunes to see the vast numbers of wading birds and waterfowl that accumulate here."

Talacre Beach and Point of Ayr Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The dunes and beach areas were used for Spitfire training and the remains of pill boxes and rows of larch posts, originally put in to deter enemy invasion, can still be seen. As a result of the target practice and occasional dogfight overhead, the beaches were littered with spent ammunition.
