Talacre Beach in Flintshire

Talacre Beach is a long sandy beach looking out over the Irish Sea and to the Wirral and Liverpool. Sand dunes back the beach and has plenty of room for everyone, even in the summer with the local holiday parks. Talacre is an excellent alternative to the more commercialised North Wales coastal resorts.

The highlight feature of the beach is the old Point of Ayr lighthouse, first built in 1776. A significant feature of the beach is the 18 meters high Point of Ayr lighthouse, built in 1776, although it was decommissioned back in 1883, it is known for being haunted by a ghostly figure wearing old-fashioned lighthouse keeper clothes standing in front of the glass dome and looking out over the beach.

This is a dog-friendly beach, and If you and your pet want some exercise, at low tide, you can walk out to the foot of the lighthouse, although you need to keep an eye on the tide coming in.

The area around the beach, Gronant Dunes and Talacre Warren is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) with an RSPB reserve. Just around the corner, the Dee estuary is a haven for wintering birds, with little terns, skylarks, meadow pipits and warblers all spotted here.

The beach is excellent for walkers, with spectacular views of the Irish Sea and The Dee estuary.

Facilities include car parking, toilets, cafe/restaurant, pub and nearby holiday parks.
