The summer is almost upon us. The thought of sitting around the campfire with friends or family, listening to the sound of the waves lapping the shore as the sun sets certainly has its lure. Here are five suggestions of places to camp this summer by the sea.

Shell Island, Gwynedd, North Wales

A small island off the Gwynedd coast in North Wales, accessible only at low tide is the ideal choice for friends and families to getaway. With its own private beach and great facilities, it’s easy to spend a whole weekend there without needing to leave the island.

With beautiful beaches, historic Harlech Castle and the fishing town of Barmouth nearby, Shell Island comes highly recommended.
