Wales - one of the most beautyfull places on earth. And highly underrated. Even by the welch themselves. We were often asked: "So, what brings you to Wales?" Us: "holliday!" and the reply was often: "Why?" 🙂 One of our favourites is Beaumaris and the nearby Puffin Island. 🙂

Great video, thanks for putting this up. I really enjoyed it. I'm 55, Cardiff born and have lived most of my life in south Wales. I've visited most places along the coast and I'd say your choices are spot on. If I was to add one more, it would be Whiteford Sands and the area around Llanmadoc on the Gower. It has a beautiful large beach with quite extensive sand dunes and it's surrounded by very pretty countryside. It's a bit of a personal choice though - I have so many memories of summer holidays there, camping with my parents in the 1970s!
