List of all Wales Beaches

Bounded on three sides by the sea, Wales has all kinds of beaches to choose from, and if you know where to look, it's possible to have a beach to yourself - even on the busiest of bank holidays. For the purposes of this list, I have included all beaches which have a name, provided they're not so small, rocky or muddy as to be of little interest. The beaches listed here include the numerous small coves of Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula, as well as those within MoD sites. Using this criteria,

There are approximately 498 beaches in Wales.
