Llansteffan Beach

8 Shara Elwood

We only stopped by briefly on our way back home from a quick getaway. The beach had convenient free parking and a beautiful sandy shoreline. There was a snack kiosk that offered a nice selection of hot food options like Fish & Chips, Pies, Hot Dogs, Sausages, Jacket Potatoes, as well as hot drinks. Right next to the parking area, there was a small gift shop and Tearoom, and public toilets were also available nearby.
