One of Wales\u2019 most iconic seaside pubs has made it to the number one position in a rundown of the Best Spots for a Seaside Pint in the UK.<\/p>\n

The ever-popular, T\u0177 Coch Inn in Pwllheli, a favourite of the Instagram snapper, isn\u2019t alone in the top ten either, with two spots in Pembrokeshire also appearing in the coveted top ten.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something special about a seaside pint \u2014 sea air, salty chips, and a cold one in hand. So, just in time for the tail end of summer, Big 7 has dropped its list of The 25 Best Spots for a Seaside Pint in the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The judges asked their 367k Instagram followers to tell us their favourite places for a pint by the sea, then combined that with recommendations from the Big 7 Travel editorial team and online reviews to narrow down the ultimate list.<\/p>\n

T\u0177 Coch Inn<\/strong><\/p>\n

The charming T\u0177 Coch Inn was an undeniably perfect decision by the judges, with its unrivalled backdrop in one of Wales\u2019 most breathtaking locations.<\/p>\n

The judges described T\u0177 Coch Inn as: \u201cA beachfront boozer with an unbeatable view, the T\u0177 Coch Inn gets all the love it deserves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch the fishing boats bob in the calm waters, looking out to the rolling Yr Eifl underneath an enormous sky, with the sandy beach at your feet. It\u2019s only reachable on foot, but there are few better spots for enjoying a pint than right here, on the Ll\u0177n Peninsula.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"The T\u0177 Coch Inn<\/p>\n

The team at Big 7 added: \u201cT\u0177 Coch Inn earns the top spot on Big 7 Travel\u2019s list thanks to its breathtaking location on the Ll\u0177n Peninsula, a true gem along the Welsh coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly reachable on foot, the walk makes that first seaside pint even more rewarding. With views of Yr Eifl, fishing boats in the bay, and soft sand underfoot, it\u2019s a perfect slice of north Wales charm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other Welsh entries<\/strong><\/p>\n

At number six, the second highest entry for Wales, is The Griffin, Pembrokeshire.<\/p>\n

\"\"A glass of the cold stuff at The Griffin<\/p>\n

Big 7 write: \u201cThere\u2019s always a buzz at this much-loved coastal pub. Wth its view over a sparkling bay, encircled by soft green hills, it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoats bob gently in the water, docking at the floating pontoon below, while the kitchen serves up fresh seafood delivered daily. From sun-soaked lunches on the rooftop terrace to golden sunset pints perched by the Griffin\u2019s stone wall, there\u2019s something undeniably special about this place.\u201d<\/p>\n

At number ten is The Druidstone, Pembrokeshire.<\/p>\n

\"\"The mesmerising view from The Druidstone<\/p>\n

The judges said: \u201cPerched on a cliff overlooking St. Brides Bay, the Druidstone boasts one of the most breathtaking views in Pembrokeshire.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts laidback charm has kept regulars returning to this hotel for years, but first-timers are just as welcome to enjoy the views from the beer garden.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on Sundays for a legendary roast dinner, and take a 10-minute wander down the cliff path to the long, golden beach.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor serious walkers, the Druidstone is a beloved pitstop along the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path \u2013 but with sea views this good, you might find it hard to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"The Sailor\u2019s Safety<\/p>\n

Further down the list, at number 21, is the tranquil Sailor\u2019s Safety in Newport, Pembrokeshire.<\/p>\n

Big 7 share: \u201cThe Sailor\u2019s Safety is a nod to seafaring days on the Dinas Island peninsula, when the pub would burn a light through the night to guide ships to safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe humble cottage pub has stood on this craggy shore since 1593 \u2013 but the food is anything but old-fashioned. The changing menu is built around fresh seafood, with dishes like wild seabass with vermouth velout\u00e9, garlicky mussels, and Pembrokeshire lobster with chimichurri.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill, what we\u2019re really here for is the view \u2013 a front-row seat to Pwllgwaelod Beach.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the fifth welsh entry, at number 23 is the Penhelig Arms, Aberdyfi.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Penhelig Arms, Aberdyfi<\/p>\n

There is no better place to be on a sunny day in Aberdovey than the Penhelig Arms. Whether it\u2019s from the balcony terrace or the beer garden, the Penhelig takes full advantage of the sweeping estuary views. Take a stroll along the beach at low tide, or sit back and enjoy the scenery, where the sparkling waters of Cardigan Bay meet the River Dyfi.<\/p>\n
