A BEACH on Anglesey has been named one of the most 'baby-friendly' in the UK.

Traeth Llanddwyn (Newborough Beach), along with Tenby South Beach and Whitesands Bay, near St David's, all feature in the top 10.

Traeth Llanddwyn was rated the 6th most 'baby-friendly beach' in the UK in the study by JoJo Maman Bébé. To determine the top family-friendly beaches, analysis took in key metrics such as accessibility, convenience, nearby amenities, water quality, online popularity and proximity to parking.

Traeth Llanddwyn achieved a beach rating of 4.8/5. It was noted it has ramp access and water quality was rated as 'excellent'.

JoJo Maman Bébé spoke with pharmacist and health expert Thorrun Govind as part of the research.

Thorrun said: "Sun hats are a good idea when spending time outdoors. Look for styles that help shade the face, ears and neck and are made from lightweight, breathable materials.

“During warmer weather, parents may also find it helpful to keep extra fluids, sunscreen, a sun hat, spare comfortable clothing and an umbrella or parasol for temporary shade in their baby bag.

“Apply sunscreen generously before heading outdoors and remember often-missed areas like the ears, neck and tops of feet.

"Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours, and more frequently after swimming, sweating or towel drying.”

Porthmeor Beach in St Ives took the top spot as the UK’s best beach for families with babies and toddlers, whilst Woolacombe Beach ranked second.
