A beach in Wales where the forest meets the sea has been praised as the 'most beautiful' in the UK. Llanddwyn beach on Anglesey boasts clear blue water, golden sand, and stunning views of the Llyn Peninsula and Eryri (Snowdonia). The beach went viral after UK travel vlogger Adell Baker shared a TikTok video describing it as "the most beautiful beach you'll visit in the UK."
Location and Features
Ynys Llanddwyn is a small tidal island off the west coast of Anglesey in North Wales. The beach is backed by a dense forest with footpaths, and the island is home to wild ponies and a historic lighthouse. According to the Visit Anglesey website, the beach is "famous as one of the best beaches in Britain," with impressive sand dunes and magnificent views of Eryri National Park, Caernarfon, and the Llyn Peninsula.
Viral Recognition
Adell Baker's TikTok video garnered widespread attention, with commenters saying the beach "almost doesn't look real" and that "Wales is quickly becoming my favourite." Baker said: "With clear blue waters, golden sand, and a tidal island home to wild ponies and a historic lighthouse, it's easy to fall in love with this beach. It's my favourite place to visit, no matter the weather or season."
Activities and Access
The beach offers sunbathing, bathing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and fishing. A path leads through grassy hills from the beach to the nature reserve on Ynys Llanddwyn. However, as a tidal island, it becomes inaccessible during high tides. Visitors are advised to check tide times before visiting, as it is cut off from the mainland for around two hours either side of high tide.
