Whitesands Bay would have been the point where seaborne pilgrims from Ireland would have landed and gave thanks to God for their safe passage.
As you enter the bay and before reaching the car park, you pass over the site of St Patrick’s Chapel. The remains of the chapel are beneath the sand dunes and were excavated recently to reveal graves from as far back as the eighth century.
Whitesands Bay has one of the finest beaches in Wales and is particularly popular with surfers. It can be very busy on a hot summer’s day. It is designated a Blue Flag beach and there are life guards in attendance during busy times. The rocky outcrop of Carn Llidi towers over the beach and is well worth a diversion to ascend it. The views are spectacular and you can also rest up there on St Patrick’s seat, the place allegedly where St Patrick was visited by an angel and told to travel to Ireland to spread the Christian message.
