If you want a luxurious weekend where you can get into personal access by wearing amazing wildlife, this place in North Wales is perfect for you. Known to locals as Angel Bay, Porth Dainied is a secret cove just minutes from the tourist attraction Landodono and is becoming one of the UK's top places to quietly find wild seals.
Matthew Fox, CEO of Lateerooms.com, said: “The British villa loved the seaside town, and Llandudno has been classic for generations. But the short hikes around the coast from the pastel trails and Victorian piers are truly special and a real reward for nature lovers.”
The secluded cove is Grayser's favorite spot to visit with her puppies in the fall. Autumn is a popular time of year for sticker spots, but those heading to the cove can find them almost all year round.
There is no beach access, but the view from the top to the cove is spectacular. And thus, seals remain protected from people.
The steep cliffs above the beach allow you to clear the views of Ireland's sea sweeping. On sunny days, you can sway in the water or get bathed in the warmed rocks of the sun.
It's untouched and you might find other pedestrians on a good day, but there are no queues, ticket booths, or gift shops.
Visitors to the cove rave reviews about it on TripAdvisor. One visitor wrote: “Absolutely beautiful place with unrealistic views! Very peaceful to see the sunset late in the evening. We found quite a few seals on the coast and the ocean.”
Another said: “This kind of surprise, even if the only reason we visited was to see seals. We never imagined that many of them were at home on the beach.
“You might have stayed all day long and watched. It's beautiful to see them in their natural habitat, and a walk to the beach follows an easy path, so it was a very enjoyable walk.”
