I Visited the Best Beach in the UK, But What Happened 2 Miles Away Was More Memorable

This beach is the best in the UK.

The UK has many great beaches. From Wales to Scotland, they are as good as any in the world. The latest beach to be named the best is Traeth Llanddwyn in Wales.

Traeth Llanddwyn is on the west coast of Anglesey in north-west Wales.

Time Out says Llanddwyn is like a dream. It has white sand, great views of the Irish Sea, and the peaks of Eryri National Park.

I wanted to see Llanddwyn for myself. I went to Anglesey, which is a happy place to live in Wales. It has many great places to visit and eat.

My visit to Llanddwyn was memorable. But many people have seen photos of it on social media, so it was crowded.

The beach and island are very photogenic. This has led to large crowds.

Locals are upset about the crowds. The roads are blocked, and people are parking thoughtlessly.

The beach access road was closed during a protest. This is what I saw when I tried to visit.

There was a protest in the village against congestion.

I was surprised to see a line of bollards blocking the road to the beach. This was two miles from the beach.

This is what life is like for villagers in Newborough.

People have been parking on the verge illegally.

The road was blocked because tourists were parking unlawfully. They were blocking residential roads and grass verges.

Visitors got angry when they saw the barricade. There were arguments, and traffic was backed up. Locals are also upset about cars and campervans parking on pavements.

The beach and forest are on the west coast of Anglesey in north-west Wales.

In May, locals staged a protest to block the road. The cost of parking at the beach car park was doubled to solve the problem.

I was disappointed when I saw the barricade. But I drove away and came back later when the road was open.

If the road was still closed, I would have respected the decision and left. Over-tourism is a big problem in the UK, made worse by social media.

The view is famous for its lighthouse and cross.

There are cottages on the island where pilots used to live.

The road to the beach was clear when I visited. I walked through the beautiful Newborough Forest to get to the beach.

You walk through the forest to get to the beach.

The beach is huge. Even a full car park wouldn't make it crowded. At the end of the beach is Ynys Llanddwyn, a rocky island you can walk to at low tide.

The island is named after a Welsh saint. Its lighthouse and crosses are famous among photographers and social media users.

I didn't walk to the island because my children didn't want to. I saw the landmarks from a distance.

I took a short walk along the beach. It's worth visiting, but you should respect the locals.

Llanddwyn is known for its beach, island, and historical structures. But it's not the only place in Wales with these features.

Llansteffan in Carmarthenshire has a big beach and a medieval castle.

Llansteffan Castle's ruins are above the beach.

Southerndown in the Vale of Glamorgan has a great beach and the ruins of Dunraven Castle.

Southerndown beach is one of the best in Europe.

St Govan's chapel is a remarkable building in Britain.

St Govan's Head in Pembrokeshire has a hermit's cell built into the cliff. It's near the beaches of Barafundle and Broad Haven South.
