Prestatyn, just under a 40-minute drive away from the park, offers wide open sands and a slightly quieter feel than Rhyl. It’s perfect if you want space to walk, relax, or let the dog stretch its legs along the shoreline. The beach also links to the Wales Coast Path, so you can easily turn a short visit into a longer, scenic coastal walk.
Just along from Rhyl, Kinmel Bay offers a quieter alternative with a wide, open beach that’s perfect for a quiet seaside escape, slow walks and taking in the coastal views.

With its wide sandy shoreline, natural dunes, and iconic lighthouse creating a truly memorable setting. It’s ideal for longer walks, with plenty of open space for dogs to roam and explore, making it a favourite for active days by the sea.

For something a little different, Abergwyngregyn offers a more rugged and natural coastal setting, where mountains meet the sea. Roughly a 50-minute drive from the park, it’s the quieter, less developed, and less crowded option. It’s perfect for those who enjoy a more scenic, off-the-beaten-track walk. We recommend pairing it with a visit to nearby Aber Falls for a full day out exploring the best of North Wales.
