Freshwater West Beach

This wild, three-mile stretch of golden sand faces the full force of the Atlantic, making it one of Wales' premier surfing destinations and a favorite filming location for Hollywood movies including Harry Potter and Robin Hood. The beach's dramatic backdrop of sand dunes and the constant roll of white-capped waves create an exhilarating atmosphere that attracts surfers, kite-surfers, and those seeking the raw power of nature. Strong currents and powerful waves mean swimming requires caution, but the beach's unspoiled beauty and sense of wilderness make it unforgettable.
