00:00Wales is an incredibly beautiful place. You've got anything you could ever want from a holiday and

00:08despite people maybe not seeing us at much of a classic beach holiday destination we've got

00:12plenty of places where you can soak up the sun lying on the sand from the quiet excluded peaceful

00:17beaches to the busy bustling funfair spots. I'm here in Newport asking people for their

00:22favourite beaches all across Wales. Yeah I love Porth Coal. I always used to go to Porth Coal

00:27like for a lot of years. I take my daughter when she was young and we used to stay in Treckle Bay all

00:31the time. It's very beautiful. I just love the beaches and it's a beautiful place yeah. Childhood

00:39memories down there used to go down for six weeks in the summer. I used to work with the horses on

00:44the beach and yeah yeah it was good times and now it's all going because they're closing the fair

00:50and it's just dying off so. Barry Island. Why is it Barry Island? Why do you like Barry Island?

01:00I just think it's nice. I love the waves and it's just good. Yeah and the thing is like when the

01:08children were little we used to go love like on a Friday and a Saturday going up to the fair you know

01:12it was brilliant so I think it will be sad for the area to to lose that you know definitely and obviously

01:18and obviously Porth Coal is famous for it. It's Elvis weekend which obviously I've gone on a couple

01:23years ago and absolutely love that. It was brilliant so that's another fabulous place to go obviously for

01:29that too isn't it? Barry for me I love that you've got the actual beach and then if you go up around

01:35you've got like the little hill that goes up you've got like the rock beaches there's a load of

01:39places to walk around like there's loads to do in Barry. I think it's really cute. It's on this foot

01:42but beach next to Tenby it's quiet it's got all like the chicken and everything it's great it's

01:47just gonna knock all those people it's good. Sand dunes further down past Treco and you go to Newton
