Tips

Jim Martin

A perfect vantage spot to observe the wildlife or simply to enjoy the views up and down the beach, out to sea and across the dunes. A long, very well maintained boardwalk takes from the public footpath through the reed beds and dunes to the viewing point and beach. There is a shelter at the viewing point providing a peaceful place to sit and rest.

"The sand dunes at Gronant have been designated as a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as they provide an important habitat for a variety of important plant and animal life. Marine flora found here includes sea holly, marram grass and rare dune fescue. Look carefully and you might even spot natterjack toads, lizards and North Wales’ only breeding colony of little terns. In the winter months bird watchers visit the dunes to see the vast numbers of wading birds and waterfowl that accumulate here."
