Many moons ago can remember seeing a photo of a  lovely basic site next to a beach in wales.  (it wasn't shell island!)  anyone have any idea where it was please?

Any ideas also welcomed for other coastal sites in Wales.  Living in Devon we have done toured Cornwall/Devon/Dorset to death and are looking for somewhere different.

We prefer basic, quiet sites, no entertainment.  Must be dog friendly with somewhere to walk them.

Thankyou

Anywhere really, but south - mid wales preferred.

Was it Cae Du near Tywyn (not to be confused with the Beddgelert site of the same name, but which is not, of course, on the coast!)?

Thankyou for your replies.  The site is neither of the above two, but they still look fanstastic and will be added to my lists of "must visit".  So thankyou!

From what I can remember from the picture the site was virtually on the beach...no road inbetween and not on a cliff top.  Might have been a CL or similar as it looked quite basic.

 Could it be in Port Eynon in the Gower?  I haven't stayed there but it is extremely close to the beach.

Not that one either Mudmonster, but still looks a lovely site!  Thankyou for trying.

The site in the photo I saw on here before was much smaller and the pitches were in spitting distance of the beach, I think you could drive on the beach???

There are these two sites at Black Rock Sands -http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=1089 and http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=1915

They are separated from the beach by the dunes - literally a hop skip and a jump.

I havent been for a couple of years so I havent any idea what they are like these days.

Wow, there are some great sites in Wales - much more choice of beach sites than Cornwall

I THINK the site I was looking for might be this one......

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?page=2&revid=2631

Stream, and camping field that leads onto private beach....sounds familiar.

We have just come back from north wales so this will be too far

Ty newdd farm Aberdaron Lynn Peninsula lots of walks, great sunsets and very near the beach whistling sands and yes walking on this sand it really does make a noise, saw some dolphins

site very nice area for walking dogs, we were in the NEHU which was better but showers were 20p for about 2.5 mins. they had a cafe on site which was useful
