I’m going to let you into a secret – There’s a place I know. Its rather perfect. Don’t tell everyone – They’ll all want to go. If you’re thinking of setting out on an autumn picnic over the half term – you may want to think about going.
Let me tell you about Hell’s Mouth (No, not the hole in my face that talks a bit too much – That’s a completely different type of Hell’s Mouth) A wonderful beach just near Abersoch – I’ve probably told you about it before. Perfect for surfing, perfect for walking, perfect for picnicking – Which is why I’m telling you about it.
Just because the weather is a bit fresher doesn’t mean to say we can’t eat al fresco anymore. I’m all in favour of this idea and have been for years – We do outdoor day trips all year round – We are your forever optimistic picnickers – There’s not much a good coat and an umbrella can’t protect against.
Let me introduce you to Hell’s Mouth …
FREE car park – This is a perfect spot for surfers so will spot some brilliant camper vans and maybe the odd half naked man getting into a wetsuit. Its a cross we all have to bear! Even better there is a tea van so if you finish your flask – there’s always a top up!
There’s a sandy walk (about 200m) down to the beach – Good exercise but not too far and you are nicely warm by the time you reach the beach. Perfectly safe to let the kids walk on ahead.
There’s plenty of waves for the active type – Disclaimer: This is Dermot and not me!
There’s even peace and tranquility (Maybe not if you take your 3 kids)
We don’t live on the doorstep of Abersoch – in fact, we have a good 2 1/2 hour drive to get there but it is well worth it. We quite often set out mid morning on a Sunday and don’t get back until late evening. We take an almighty picnic as suggested by we’re Going On An Adventure or these Herby Potatoes, but it doesn’t stop us devouring the chippy at Conwy on the way back.
I’m joining in with Anca’s Lifestyle who is asking us to share details of our favourite places in the UK






what a lovely review, my kids and I have our favourite places too. Only shame is both my two don’t like those drinks, despite trying all the flavours. But they do love picnics!
Nothing better than a picnic for getting to speak to your kids! Thanks for visiting x
Looks like you had a great day!! #Littlecrackers
It looks well worth the drive, and what day out isn’t improved by stopping for fish and chips on the way home 🙂
What a lovely place to go for a relaxing trip. I will like to go there next year with the kayak, looks like a perfect spot.
Thank you x
Looks like such a great place and I honestly can’t believe I’ve never been there despite working in Pwllheli! Will have to mark it down as a place to visit!
