...from Derbyshire?

We know all about Whitby, Brid, Scarborough and North Norfolk (which is a drag to get to anyway).

Any we are missing - anything nice in North Wales without going too far across?

Aberavon? The sea is a funny colour though. And the sea plants glow in the dark.

Depends what you're after but Llandudno, Conway and Anglesey are all pretty good for a day out- Llandudno west shore is best for a more natural beach away from the Zimmer crew

Formby has been recommended but not been- pay to get into a forest with picnic spots and sand dunes a plenty

Drove up onto the beach there last year, took a stroll along the beach and got hazy sunburn on my head. Aside from the large array of decaying jellies on the beach it was lovely!

I'm glad I don't have to ask any of you lot for directions in North Wales.
Prestatyn or Talacre aren't too bad, the you'd either have to go inland a bit or over to Conwy/Llandudno/Colwyn Bay.
What qualifies as nice?
Thanks for spitting in our faces essel.

East coast weather looking better than west, but Ta for all replies. Don, as awfully nondescript the word 'nice' is, looking for not full of chavs, clean, maybe a bit quaint - everything skegness isn't, or rhyll for that matter

Just below Mablethorpe...

Anderby Creek if all you want is a nice beach and cafe (and dunes to play in). Then take a short drive down to Chapel St. leonards if you want a few more cafes, pubs and an arcade!

By default any large seaside town will be full this weekend though.

Llandudno is nice but its a fair old trek for a day-trip from Derbyshire.

No probs.

It is though isn't it? Rhyll, a shithole of the very 1st order?

It's Rhyl not Rhyll!!! And yes, it's a shithole.
"ll" is a different letter with a different pronunciation. 😉

Newquay in Wales is nice. Not much there, but has a nice chip shop, & little beach.

Newquay maybe nice, but the holiday park there is fing horrible. Full of the siest, scummiest chavs known to Chavsville.

* you may guess it was the worst holiday I've ever been on.

The only places I could offer an opinion on in North Wales would be Beaumaris, Porthmadog & Hells Mouth. All a bit bit of a trek from Derby. But then everywhere is.

The quiet bits between brid and scar, hunmanby gap, or a little further south out towards the lighthouse but still north of brid! Can't think what it's called though. Love white chalk cove and nice and secluded!
