Traeth Pensarn — Attraction in Abergele

Absolutely fantastic here. I have many fond memories of this beach and local surrounding areas from childhood. Many hours spent searching for the biggest or most colourful one and we lost count of how many my brother and i must have taken home as a keepsake. There are huts to get food and a little arcade. A word of warning though, be very careful where you eat your food, my children and i were going yo enjoy our tea sat on the retaining wall looking out to sea but the seaguls are far from shy. As my daughter placed her tray of chips on the wall to jump up onto it, we were invaded by about 15 or 20 of them, one grabbed the tray and emptied the chips onto the wall and they all just swooped down and ate the lot in seconds. It was a funny experience but quite scarey too as they are quite big, very loud and not at all deterred by humans. We decided to eat the rest of the food in the car.
