Given the large expanse of tidal mudflats here (a paradise for wading birds), it's surprising that the Victorians chose this site to build Britain's ninth-longest pleasure pier. Opened in 1896, Garth Pier strides on its original iron legs 458m into the Menai Strait – halfway to Anglesey. Ornate kiosks dot its length, including one of Bangor's best cafes.
You can park here for £1.50 per day.
