A SMALL town in the UK is proving to be one of the country's best kept secrets, with plenty of holidaymakers unaware of its existence.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows that there's plenty of great stretches of beach throughout the British isles, including in Wales, where there are several seaside towns perfect for staycations.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

However, Barmouth seems to have escaped public knowledge, with some people saying English tourists just don't know that it exists.<\/p>\n

The town has been described as "old fashioned" because of its retro seaside entertainment, including donkey rides and amusement arcades.<\/p>\n

But in truth the town has much more to offer visitors, with a lot of recent upgrades making it an even better place for tourists.<\/p>\n

One person who liked Barmouth so much that he decided to move there in 2020 is Dominic Vacher, who labelled it an "extremely beautiful area".<\/p>\n

He told the Telegraph: "People in the south of England don\u2019t know about Barmouth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd there\u2019s lots happening right now, including new hotels and restaurants opening."<\/p>\n

While that may be the case, it's the beach that acts as the primary draw for visitors.<\/p>\n

The stretch of shoreline offers plenty of golden sand and waters that are perfect for paddling, swimming and surfing, depending on what you're most interested in.<\/p>\n

Visit Wales described it as southern Snowdonia's "most popular seaside resort" and said: "Its big sandy beach is a magnet for visitors, yet there\u2019s so much space along miles of unbroken sands that it never gets overcrowded."<\/p>\n

Others have been even more enthusiastic about Barmouth beach on Google, where it has a 5\/5 rating from hundreds of reviews.<\/p>\n

One wrote: "Without a doubt the\u00a0best beach\u00a0I have ever been to into UK!"<\/p>\n

Another said: "I would say it's the best place on Earth, love it here and highly recommend going."<\/p>\n

A third added: "Best beach when weather is good.\u00a0Nice little town, great walks."<\/p>\n

One of those walks provides an even better vantage point of the popular beach, with the Welsh Flag Viewpoint and Panoramic Viewpoint situated high on a hill overlooking the sea.<\/p>\n

Walking is another reason people love to visit Barmouth, with Eryri (Snowdonia) national park right on its doorstep.<\/p>\n

The Snowdonia website boasts of "uninterrupted landscapes" containing "a wealth of treasures to discover and enjoy, from remote hidden pools to magnificent high peaks".<\/p>\n

After a day of hiking and playing on the beach, there are plenty of places in the town to unwind, including its selection of pubs.<\/p>\n

Among the favourites are The Royal, which one reviewer described as "definitely the best pub in Barmouth, maybe Wales".<\/p>\n

There's also the Last Inn, which other reviewers have handed the title of the town's best boozer.<\/p>\n

One wrote: "Best in town by far."<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there's also competition for the best place to eat as well, with restaurants like the Captain's Table, The Bank and Salt Marsh Kitchen among those fighting for the crown.<\/p>\n

However, the Mermaid Fish Bar is pretty widely regarded as the best place in town for a chippy tea.<\/p>\n

Food is also served at Ty\u2019r Graig Castle, primarily a hotel with 11\u00a0en-suite guest rooms, all offering "stunning views of the local area".<\/p>\n

Rooms in the castle start from \u00a3109 for two, including a sea view and breakfast.<\/p>\n

Cheaper stays can be booked elsewhere from \u00a381 a night for two.<\/p>\n

She shared footage of her trip, with some of her followers equally enamoured with the destination.<\/p>\n
