Found just outside of the lovely little seaside resort village of Abergele, Towyn Beach is a delightful stretch of shingles and sand. The views out onto the sea are glorious, especially on a day when the sun is shining brightly, and you can see right over Colwyn Bay towards the Isle of Man.
It is popular with families, especially as there are funfairs and the like nearby, but it is also a haven for those of us who travel with a four legged friend in tow, as it is entirely dog friendly. Dogs are welcome all throughout the year, and they may enjoy the whole of the beach at their own pace.
Once you get past the shingle, the sands stretch on for ages, making them perfect to build a sand castle or two, so make sure you bring your buckets and spades with you.
Facilities are good here as well, with fantastic shopping opportunities just a short walk away from the beach, as well as all the usual things such as public toilets, cafés, restaurants, pubs and the like.

Betws-y-Coed
The most popular inland resort in North Wales, partly due to its convenience as a location but mostly thanks to its beauty and splendour. A lot of the village dates back to the Victorians, and their influence still abounds in the buildings. Surrounded by the dense forestry and imposing mountains of the region, Betws-y-Coed feels pleasantly out of the way.
