The nearest beach at Dinas Dinlle is a 15 minute drive away.
It is a safe sandy beach and has has views over Caernarfon Bay, Anglesey and Yr Eifl/The Rivals which is a group of hills on the coast of the Llyn Peninsula.
The Llyn Peninsula has numerous beautiful beaches Aberdaron, Pwllheli, Barmouth, Nefyn, Harlech, Criccieth,Porthdinllaen Beach-one of my favourites-Traeth Porthor (Whistling Sands as its also called), Llanbedrog Beach and many more. Most of these beaches are also dog friendly. Check out www.thebeachguide.co.uk                                
Harlech, Cricceth and Caernarfon have castles too which must be visited! Caernarfon Castle is recognised around the world as one of the greatest buildings of the Middle Ages.This fortress -palace on the banks of the River Seiont is grouped with Edward 1's other castles at Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech as a World Heritage Site.                                                            
A visit to North Wales must include a visit to Ynys Mon/Anglesey. To travel to Anglesey you will go over a choice of two bridges, Britannia Bridge built by Robert Stephenson in 1846 and the Menai suspension Bridge designed by Thomas Telford in 1818. Anglesey has many beautiful beaches from Red Wharf Bay, Benllech, Rhosneigr, Cemaes, Aberffraw, Church Bay, Trearddur Bay etc.

My firm favourite is Newborough Beach and the magical Llanddwyn Island on the west of the island.
Newborough forest is a great place for children and dogs to walk through to get to the sand dunes and the long sandy beach and to walk to the the Two Mawr Lighthouse and the ruins of Santes Dwynwen Church.
A visit to South Stack Lighthouse is also a must. South Staff Cliffs on Holy Island in Anglesey is a wonderful nature reserve run by the RSPB. Up to 9000 seabirds frequent South Stack cliffs including puffins, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwake and fulmars so a heaven for Bird Watchers! Penmon Point Lighthouse outside Beaumaris is also worth visiting.
There are numerous pubs and cafes and restaurants in Snowdonia and Anglesey.
There are many eating places in Caernarfon a 15 minute drive away from the cottage from tapas, Italian, to Welsh traditional pub food A restaurant in Caernarfon, Sheeps and Leeks offers fine dining and is in the Michelin Guide. Sosban in Menai Bridge also offers fine dining.
