Prestatyn sits on the North Wales coast where the sea meets the hills. This town has deep roots in the age of steam and sand. My top tip is to visit the start of the Offa’s Dyke Path. You can see the stone marker by the sea for free. It is a prime choice for a low cost day in the fresh air. Barkby Beach has miles of soft sand and big dunes. You can walk the front to see the waves. The air is fresh and the views of the sea are clear. Many trails here are dogs welcome paths. It is a smart spot for a trip to the shore. Life here is calm and tied to the tide.
