Penarth Pier, A Beautiful historical Seaside gem

Penarth is a beautiful seaside town and luckily my hometown, growing up here was amazing during the summers and it’s so nice to come back for a visit. The seafront has a long calm beach and the beachfront is lined with shops, restaurants and bars - newer independent coffee shops are also starting to appear. The highlight of the seafront is the Pier, built in 1898 it has become an iconic landmark for penarth and wales as a whole. The pier used to be a dock for steam boats that would cruise up and down the Bristol Channel. After a multi million pound refurbishment in 2013 the pier is now a big social hub for the area, the pavilion contains a cinema, cafe and ice cream parlours. It’s a great place to take in the views or relax with a coffee, it’s dog and family friendly and it’s good for all weathers! 📍Address: Penarth seafront, Wales 💰Average Price per Person: Free for the pier £3/4 per coffee or cake on the pier #100waysoftravel #penarth #wales #beachtrip #mytravelhacks #staycation
