Red Wharf Bay is a vast sandy beach and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The bay is a nature reserve and is home to lots of birdlife. Keep a lookout for purple sandpipers, curlew, shelduck and dunlin. The western shore of the beach is dominated by Castell Mawr, a large distinctive limestone rock.

Hiking

Large sandy bay surrounded by dunes. On the north side there are large, striking limestone cliffs of Castell Mawr - certainly geologically interesting, looks like climbers could have fun here...
The beach itself is a really large (!) sandy bay, very popular in summer but largely deserted out of season. You can sometimes see kitesurfers and windsurfers here. There is parking behind the dunes and there is a small beach café and shop.
