Black Rock Sands | Wales Photo Spot
Share this Page
Black Rock Sands is a two-mile long sandy beach backed by a beautiful system of sand dunes, making it a perfect destination for photographers. One of the few beaches in the UK where you can drive onto the sand, it provides a unique perspective for capturing the stunning seascape, especially during sunrise or sunset when the light creates dramatic shadows and highlights on the dunes. The beach is named after the prominent headland of Black Rock, a large outcrop of dark dolerite rock, which can provide a striking contrast in your compositions. With its vast expanses of sand, beautiful dunes, and the backdrop of Snowdonia’s mountains in the distance, Black Rock Sands offers a diverse range of photographic opportunities, whether you’re interested in landscapes, action shots, or nature photography.
