We are looking for a nice beach in Wales, surfing, low key but some nightlife to unwind for a few days after spending 5 days at the Glastonbury Festival. Hotel or B&B suggestions too!

Nina, Swansea, where I grew up (but haven't been to in years) has very nice beaches and pretty much all that you're looking for. We'll be there for a few days later this summer. I'm not too familiar with it anymore. Hopefully, others will respond. I googled a lot when looking for a nice hotel. There are quite a few - depends on your budget and requirements. Again, hopefully others will reply. Swansea has many beaches - Mumbles, Gower, Caswell, etc.
Mumbles is great and anywhere in the Gower is fantastic. There are not many cities in the UK that have beaches of that quality literally minutes away. Swansea is just PURE nostalgia for me, so I'm a bit biased! Maybe some of these links will help. http://www.stayinwales.co.uk/accommresults.cfm?area=12 http://www.iknow-wales.co.uk/cardiff_south_wales/swansea/ http://www.iknow-wales.co.uk/cardiff_south_wales/swansea/family_children/ http://www.iknow-wales.co.uk/cardiff_south_wales/swansea/hotels/ http://www.lodging-world.com/search.uk.wales.glamorgan.swansea.html http://www.hotels-uk-accommodation.co.uk/swansea/ http://www.mumbles.co.uk/Hotels/ http://visitswanseabay.com/ http://www.tourismswanseabay.co.uk/index.asp http://www.swansea.info/ http://www.wales-tourist-information.co.uk/marketarea/Swansea_Bay_The_Gower_Peninsula_Mumbles/index.html http://www.enjoygower.com/index.cfm
