A beautiful North Wales beach has been rated one of the UK's best for swimming. While taking a dip off the Welsh coast can be a bracing experience, sea temperatures are at their highest in August - and last month’s heatwave pushed them to record levels.

According to the Guardian, one of the best places for swimming in the UK is a beach on the north west coast of Anglesey. Ella Foote, editor of Outdoor Swimmer magazine, selected her favourite places around Britain and in her top 10 was Trearddur Bay.

The seaside village, on Holy Island, boasts a main beach and two cove beaches, Porth Diana and Porth Castell. The main beach is one of the island’s tourist hotspots.
“This beach has everything for a great outing: sand for castle building, rock pools when the tide heads out, and a lovely bathing area protected by marked buoys,” wrote Ella. “Swimming across the bay it’s easy to cover 400 metres with nothing but sand beneath you.

Several shallow scuba diving sites are available in the bay and the seas off Trearddur are said to provide some of the world’s best kayaking experiences. Boat and fishing trips can be booked from the beach and for those who prefer to stay on dry land, horse riding is available too.
