With a coastline full of sweeping bays, sheltered coves and wild headlands, West Wales offers a beach for every kind of summer day.
The July and August edition travels along the coast to pick out favourite seaside spots across Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. Some are famous, while others reward those willing to follow a quieter lane or footpath.
From family-friendly sand and easy access to remote coves backed by coast path scenery, the feature celebrates the variety found within the three counties. It also reminds visitors to respect tides, local guidance and the landscapes making these places special.
