Pair your meal with a local ale or a glass of wine as the sun sets over the Irish Sea.
Day 2 Autumn Itinerary
Enjoy Autumn by the Sea
One of the most special things about staying at The Beaches Hotel and Spa is our direct access to the beach.
Wrap up warm and take a peaceful walk along the sands, you might have the shoreline all to yourself. The sea breeze is invigorating, and there’s nothing quite like watching the waves under a crisp autumn sky.
If you’re lucky, you may even catch a pod of dolphins or a spectacular rainbow over the bay.
Explore the Clwydian Range & Offa’s Dyke
For those who love walking or hiking, the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is just a short drive away.
Take in sweeping views of rolling hills and valleys tinged with autumnal colours. You can also explore sections of the Offa’s Dyke Path, an ancient walking route that winds along the historic border between England and Wales.
It’s a must-do for nature lovers and those seeking quiet reflection in stunning surroundings.
Relax and Rejuvenate
Of course, autumn is also about rest and recharge. Finish your day taking full advantage of our heated indoor swimming pool, and wellness facilities.
Enjoy some quiet time with a book, a spa treatment or simply sit back and take in the views from the warmth and comfort of your room.
After all, there’s nothing more luxurious than ending your day doing absolutely nothing, especially with the sea just outside your window.
