Barry Island is a vibrant, attractive seaside resort known for bucket and spade holidays and fantastic sandy beaches. The bright lights of Barry Island Pleasure Park can be an exciting allure, while the colourful Victorian beach huts are a reminder of bygone British summers. In fact, if you’re after a taste of days gone by, then a trip to Barry Tourist Railway, where you can ride on historic diesel locomotives and steam engines, is a must. A trip to Barry isn’t about rushing about, though - there are plenty of beautiful beaches nearby for relaxing swims, picnics, and hours sunbathing with a good book. While Whitmore Bay is the main stretch and is handy for grabbing lunches in the nearby fish and chip shops, nearby Jackson’s Bay is much more relaxing. With fewer visitors to this smaller pretty beach, you’ll need to head around the headland towards Cardiff, beyond Nell’s Point. It’s more secluded for a tranquil afternoon, but do note that there are no lifeguards if you’re intending on taking your children. If you’d like a bit of outdoor adventure between your relaxing, then head to Cold Knap Bay, where you’ll be able to try a spot of windsurfing and kitesurfing. The bump and jump tides flow over the pounded, underwater sandbanks to provide the perfect conditions for these popular watersports. These crevices in the golden sands, warmed by the summer sun and enclosed by fingers of rock jutting out around the beach, can also provide perfect conditions for sea fishing. As well as the Wales Coast Path, which winds its way around Barry in a beautiful 4-mile stretch, you might like a leafy walk through Knap Lake and Gardens, where you can picnic in peace while watching the swans bob on the small lake. Nearby, 220 acres of meadowland sits below a large, Victorian viaduct at Porthkerry Country Park. If you’ve decided to leave the cooking to someone else while on your relaxing seaside break, then you’ve got plenty of choices.
