Prestatyn Central Beach is a popular destination in North Wales, offering a wide, sandy beach and a range of facilities for visitors to enjoy.

Prestatyn Central Beach is a wide, north-facing sandy beach, interspersed with rock groynes. The beach is part of a 5-mile stretch of sand that adjoins Barkby and Ffrith beaches. A promenade runs along the beach, providing ramped access from the car parks.
