fairchin Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Hello I am looking for some advice on where to go in Wales for a week of long flat beaches and isolation in order to get away from the busy, regulated and ban-intensive South west....! I'd like to rent a cottage, near (or even on!) the beach for family and friends but my welsh geopgraphy is cr*p... Any tips welcome.. Thanks for your help Quote

HILLBILLY Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 so is your spelling mate lol (geopgraphy) where in Wales are you going. I know a few places inland that are ok. beaches are another story. a few are fantastic but traction kites are banned. if you have no joy finding a beach to fly then I'll give you some info on the places I go. ps. failing that I know all the best pubs and clubs in Cardiff, Swansea, Merthyr, etc haha Quote
cambello Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 try north Wales, West shore llandudno and pop into turbulence and hve a chat wit Adam, or carry on to Prestatyn. Quote
Steve1599968621 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 Rhossili beach on the Gower Penninsula, south of Swansea - Llangenith is the village you want, Hill End is the campsite/car park/beach entrance. 3 miles of perfect hard packed sand, West facing for prevailing wind, sea breeze when it's warm, tide goes out a long way and all round is a pretty damn cool place to go. I'm sure there are cottages to rent on the Gower, there's certainly plenty of B&B's, and Hill End is a good campsite (right in the dunes, yards from the beach) if you don't mind chancing the random temperatures in the showers!

Ted Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 agree with the above. Saunton-like there and will work in N - W - S winds. you can also try Oxwich on the south side of the gower which works in E -S- W winds. all the best! Ted Quote
c_bloore Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 Look at Aberdyfi in mid wales. The beach there is massive and normally very quiet. There are now dedicated kite zones there so its Its much more kite frenidly and much less busy than than other parts of wales. look at http://www.kitesurfwales.co.uk/index.php for details Hope this helps Charles Quote

Ted Hey Ted - It's you I met there the other week, right? - you had a go on my 18m Phantom? Didn't see you on the sunday though - wind was much better, but still could have done with just a few mph more.... Good to meet you; maybe see you again one day soon? Quote
