Porthdinllaen, an old fishing village nestled at the end of a thin strip of land jutting into the Irish Sea, is truly a gem. 

This quaint village and its sandy beach overlook a bay that houses one of Wales' largest seagrass meadows.

The pretty little village offers a spectacular coastal experience with its stunning views, sheltered waters, fine sandy beaches, intriguing rock pools, and the hustle and bustle of local fishermen.

The area is also teeming with wildlife.

The soft cliffs provide a home for nesting sand martins and cormorants, while oystercatchers and other coastal birds are often spotted.

The headland is a favourite hangout for local grey seals, and beneath the water lies one of North Wales' largest seagrass meadows, providing a habitat for a variety of fish species.

It also has well-maintained coastal paths, with a route around the tip of the peninsula, for those who enjoy walking. 

Porthdinllaen is also just a short journey from Snowdonia - a popular destination for hikers. 

You can also go swimming in the pretty clear blue waters.

The bay offers excellent protection from the North Sea waves and the waters here are so calm. 

Because of this, people can even go snorkelling there in the summer months. 

The town itself is almost like a postcard painting of the perfect seaside town with little back streets, quaint shops and traditional pubs. 

At certain times of the year, you can even spot seals swimming or lounging near the water.
