nice beaches!

[asto5]

just wondering if any one can recommend a nice beach in wales, where me and a few mates can go for just the day! preferably not too far away from hereford(hometown). particularly interested in less popular beaches!!
any input would be great, thanx!

Three Cliffs & Llangennith on the Gower are both lovely, but don't exactly fit your criteria of 'less popular'....still thye are hardly ram packed, due to there being plenty of space.

Have fun - I love Three Cliffs!

llangennith is always pretty busy but its great if you're beach bums wanting to surf or bodyboard etc and camp for a night or two. popular with youngsters doing exactly that.....neigbouring broughton is usually a little quieter but both these beaches are a fair size so its not like you'll be fighting for sand space! Rhosilli is also close by and always voted in the top 5 best beaches. Roger also mentioned Three Cliffs which is ace. A lot of people dont know its there as you cant drive to it. Its quite a walk down to that one but worth at as its never overcrowded. There are a lot of similar little beaches along the Gower coast. A little closer to Hereford are the beaches around the Porthcawl area particularly at Dunraven and Southerndown

If you want to go north, Tremadoc Bay has some lovely beaches - Black Rock Sands or Criccieth for example - but like all the others, they're not exactly "less popular".
