Colourful Seaside Towns in Wales: Pastel-Coloured Perfection

West Wales is home to some of the most picturesque seaside towns in the UK, where colourful houses line the streets, adding charm and character to the coastal landscape. These towns are ideal for those seeking both beauty and tranquillity.

Tenby, Pembrokeshire

One of the most famous seaside towns in Wales is Tenby, in Pembrokeshire, is famous for its charming pastel-coloured houses that overlook its pristine beaches. This stunning seaside town is a visual delight, with narrow streets filled with colourful houses leading down to the picturesque harbour. In the evening, boats bob on the water as the sun sets behind the ancient ruins of Castle Hill, creating the perfect photographic scene. In summer, the pedestrianised streets come alive with vibrant bars and restaurants, offering al fresco dining by the sea.

 

Aberaeron, Ceredigion

The Georgian town of Aberaeron is renowned for its strikingly colourful houses that line the harbour. The bright hues of the buildings contrast beautifully with the natural landscape. Aberaeron is a sailing hub, and its stonewalled harbour shelters yachts throughout the year.
