This is a wonderful beach located here in Wales! – You can drive and park up on the beach and take a walk over the sand dunes to the long beach on the other side. It stretches all the way up to Upper Borth and is great to cycle on, walk on and just have some fun.
It’s also a great place to take your sledges for sand sledging! – because of the large sand dunes.
The Sunsets are also very nice indeed.
The Dangers
My girlfriend and I travelled to Ynyslas like we often to do to watch the Sunset, but this time it was different.
On the way back to the car after watching a beautiful Sunset together we noticed there was another car close to the river bank. I was going to walk over to him to see if he needed a hand but I thought on my way out I’d drive near him, wind down my window and ask.
I proceeded over there and asked if he needed a hand, he said that he had gotten stuck in the sand and that the AA and Police had been called. Then I noticed, I was stuck too!
How Stupid of me, whilst trying to do a good deed I was stuck too.
I called out the RAC and they said they’d send one, meanwhile the Police had turned up and said they can’t do anything, meanwhile the tide was coming in!
The guy began to empty his car of his belongings when I asked what he was doing, he said he didn’t want his stuff to get wet!
In the end the Guy’s family members turned up and we all pushed to get each other’s cars out. The AA and RAC called a local Garage with a 4×4 to tow us out, on the way home they turned up. The AA had landed the guy with a call out fee which he had to pay, but the RAC had paid mine for me, Thank you RAC.
Just remember, be careful and park your car as far as you can away from the Water, the sand can get pretty soft when wet.
Don’t let it put you off driving on the sand though, it’s a lovely place and only 1 of few which you can do so.
