Prestatyn
The eastern gateway to the North Wales coast and the northern full-stop of the 177-mile Offa's Dyke Path. Prestatyn pairs a long sandy seafront with the wooded limestone hillside behind town, and puts the Clwydian Range, the Flintshire castles and the Talacre lighthouse sands all within half an hour.
Staying over?
Prestatyn is where Offa’s Dyke Path meets the sea, with plenty of camping and caravan options along the front.
