If sunsets are your thing, then look no further than this secret, hidden gem beach that comes with glorious miles of golden sand and is almost always deserted. As well as the exquisite views at a ‘hidden gem’ UK beach, there is a wildlife -rich headland in a nearby country park and a Special Area of Conservation for those who enjoy exploring and walking. The UK has many beautiful beaches and coastlines for visitors to enjoy and a fair number of them are relatively unknown.

For those wanting a more peaceful seaside experience than the more popular seaside destinations offer, there’s plenty just waiting to be discovered. One of these 'hidden gems' lies just a 10 minute walk from a bustling, Victorian era seaside tourist hub but is often overlooked. Recent visitors to the beach have described it as "unspoilt" and "gorgeous" and a must see for those in search of breathtaking views.

West Shore beach in Llandudno, Wales is a much quieter option than the resort’s other beach at North Shore but is still quick and easy to get to. The spot is hidden away behind sand dunes with incredible views towards Conwy Bay and Snowdonia. At low tide, a huge expanse of sand is revealed, which makes it popular with kite-flyers and kite-surfers.

It is possible to take a dip in the clear waters, although it is shallow so at times will be more suited to a gentle paddle, making it great for children. It should be noted though that there’s no lifeguard, so diligence should be taken at all times.
