A UK seaside bar overlooking a long stretch of golden sand has been labelled the best in the country.<\/p>\n
Summer may be on its way out, but there's still plenty of reasons to visit the bars and restaurants along the UK coastline.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Apparently, according to the Times, the best place to do that is the Secret Bar and Kitchen in Swansea.<\/p>\n
In a list of the seven best seaside cafes, it took top spot, with its variety of dishes and views earning it first place.<\/p>\n
The Times wrote: "This wood-walled caf\u00e9 is on the sands, just below the Uplands suburb where the poet Dylan Thomas grew up. <\/p>\n
"You might order cocktails or sparkling wine, and to eat there\u2019s fish tacos with watermelon salsa or jewel-bright plates of heritage tomatoes on toast with a view of what Thomas called 'a long and splendid curving shore'."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While the bar and kitchen is Secret by name, it's certainly not by nature.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of five-star reviews on TripAdvisor have earned it a glowing reputation among locals and visitors.<\/p>\n
One reviewer wrote: "Great place right on the beach. Went two nights in a row. Good prices and great food."<\/p>\n
Another said: "One of our favourite spots in Swansea! Fab for lunch and dinner with always the friendliest staff!"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning to visit, make sure you go to Worm's Head during low tide & spend the rest of the day on the beach."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Swansea beach has plenty of its own admirers, with one reviewer writing on TripAdvisor: "It stretches for quite a distance and is a great place to go walking or for creating sandcastles."<\/p>\n Another said: "Great beach, lovely soft sand, stretches for miles, not packed, well worth visiting."<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meanwhile, you can sip pints while\u00a0watching dolphins and whales\u00a0from the pub garden.<\/p>\n And these are some of the\u00a0most tranquil staycation spots\u00a0in the country.<\/p>\nFirst look at brand new Disneyland Hotel following two-year ‘royal renovation’<\/h3>\n
