Talacre Beach - Point of Ayr Lighthouse

About

Talacre is a sandy beach located near Prestatyn and houses a grade 2 listed lighthouse dating back to 1776, which was decommissioned in 1884 and is now a residential property, rising 18 metres out of the sand.  The area around the beach and dunes is a Site of special Scientific Interest with rare species including a collection of natterjack roads. Toilets are available a short walk from the beach with the town also close by with cafes and shops.

Point of Ayr Lighthouse is said to be haunted, so be sure to keep an eye out for the old lighthouse keeper who is said to still lookout over the beach today! But don’t let that put you off – the beach is great for exploring.

Talacre has fairly limited facilities. There is a nearby toilet and café. Dogs are allowed on the beach throughout the year.
