Criccieth Beach, Beaches Criccieth, Gwynedd - Wales where to go, what to see and where to stay in Wales

Criccieth has two beaches, the West beach is a sandy beach that stretches out toward the distant mountains of the Llyn peninsula, while the East beach is a pebbly beach that sits comfortably snuggled up to the Castle rock and the lower town.<br> There is a slipway to launch kayaks or sail boats, rock pools and sea weed clumps that hide sideways scampering crabs and darting shrimps. From high tide to low tide there is plenty to keep the family occupied.Angling is a popular sport on both beaches and the ever growing sport of sea kayaking attracts a lot of visitors to the town. But the old traditions of crabbing and shrimping, or rock pooling, must surely be the most popular activity on Criccieth beaches.
